Morehead State vs. Lindenwood Prediction

I’m on Morehead State here. I get that at a certain point, games will be like Lindenwood’s championship because the Lions are still in a transition period to where they can’t make the NCAA tournament. However, the Eagles have zero margin for error now after taking losses to all three of the teams ahead of them in the OVC title hunt, and I think Morehead State comes to play here. The Lions have been respectable at putting together wins here and there, but in the end, I just think that Morehead State needs the win more and go out and get it on the road. Give me Morehead State in this one.
