Morehead State vs Lindenwood Prediction
Morehead State and Lindenwood split the two games this season, with the home team winning both games. I’m going to lean toward Lindenwood advancing to the next round in this near toss-up. Morehead State has been in a serious funk offensively and it’s led to just one win since January 30. Lindenwood has shown signs of life on the offensive side and has had more success, which includes recent road wins over Little Rock and Tennessee Tech. Lindenwood has been more competitive this season overall. It’s hard to get excited about Morehead State with what it has shown over the last month. Give me Lindenwood to advance to the second round.
