Lipscomb Bisons Betting Preview

The Lipscomb Bisons (20-9, 14-9-4 ATS) were on a five-game winning streak for the second time this season and were looking for the sixth straight, but their offense let them down in a 66-57 road loss to Eastern Kentucky. It was the season-lowest total for the Bisons, who did manage to bounce back in the very next game with a 75-63 home victory over North Alabama. That was an extremely important win for Lipscomb as it allowed them to leapfrog North Alabama in teh standings and climb up to the top of the ASUN. Lipscomb is tied with North Alabama and is a win ahead of Eastern Kentucky and Florida Gulf Coast.

Lipscomb is averaging 78.7 PPG (68th) and is allowing 67.1 PPG (54th). The Bisons are getting 36.9 RPG (277th) and dish out 15.2 APG (91st). Jacob Ognacevic is the team’s top scorer with 20.0 PPG, along with a team-high 8.0 RPG. Will Pruitt adds 12.9 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 2.5 APG, and 1.0 SPG, while Gyasi Powell contributes 11.9 PPG, 3.8 RPG, and 1.1 SPG. 

Austin Peay Governors Betting Preview

The Austin Peay Governors (13-16, 13-14 ATS) won four of the last five games, which is their best sequence of results this year. After recording three consecutive wins for the second time this season, Austin Peay lost to Bellarmine but quickly bounced back with a 92-78 victory over Queens, also on the road. That was the first game in over a month in which Austin Peay scored more than 90 points. The Governors are 8th in the ASUN and will try to move up one spot, but they will certainly not finish the regular season below 8th place.

Austin Peay averages 71.0 PPG (283rd) and allows 74.0 PPG (255th). The Governors are 352nd in rebounds (33.0) and 317th in assists (12.4).

Lipscomb vs Austin Peay Prediction

Lipscomb won nine of the previous ten H2H encounters and covered the spread in each of the past five. Earlier in the season, Lipscomb won 88-60, comfortably covering a -15 spread in the process. The Bisons won eight of the last 11 road games, and although the Governors are 5-1 at home in the past six games, the tradition is completely on Lipsconb’s side. Furthermore, Lipscomb is more motivated to get a W here and then close the regular season with a win over Central Arkansas at home to clinch the top spot in the conference. I am backing the Bisons to do it. Austin Peay has only covered the spread in 16 of its last 34 games, while Lipscomb has covered the spread in 17 of its last 31 games.
