Lindenwood vs Tennessee State Prediction
Lindenwood and Tennessee State split the two meetings this season, with the home team winning both games. I’ll lean toward Tennessee State in the rubber match. Tennessee State has played its best ball of the season over the last month, flipping its season on its head with wins in 10 of its last 13 tries. Lindenwood has struggled together two nice underdog wins but it’s on the end of a back-to-back and tired legs will kick in eventually. I’ll bank on Tennessee State playing its best ball of the season and the rest advantage. Give me the Tigers to advance to the OVC semifinals.
