Eastern Kentucky vs North Alabama Prediction 

North Alabama comes into this matchup with a 2-11 record in conference play and they have lost four games in a row. The Lions are shooting 44% from the field and they have allowed at least 81 points in three of their last four. EKU has won two of their last three games, but they have allowed 74+ points in five straight games. The Colonels are shooting 44% from the field, but their defense has been pretty rough all season. I am going to take Eastern Kentucky just because North Alabama has been so bad, but I don’t love it.
