Lindenwood vs UT Martin Prediction 

UT Martin comes into this matchup on a four-game losing streak, but they will be at home for this contest. The Skyhawks are shooting just 41.8% from the field this season and they have allowed 75, 90, 89, 81, and 82 points in their last five games, so their defense needs major improvement. Lindenwood has alternated wins and losses over their last five games and they are shooting 43% from the field this year. The Lions have also had defensive issues recently, as they have allowed 76+ points in three of their last five games. I don’t like either team in this matchup, but I will take the points with Lindenwood here.
