Morehead State vs Little Rock Prediction

I’ll stick with Morehead State. The Eagles had a bit of trouble fending off a struggling Southern Indiana team this week, though. Morehead State shot just 38.9 percent from the field and had a 34-33 rebounding deficit. That said, the Eagles also hit 81.8 percent (18-of-22) at the line and had only six turnovers. Morehead State has won six straight games now, and they’ve scored 73 or more points in four of the last five.

These teams last met up way back on December 16 in a 78-64 home win for Morehead State. In that one the Eagles shot a solid 45.8 percent from the field with 76 percent (19-of-25) from the line and a 41-22 rebounding edge. Morehead State added a 38-26 advantage on points in the paint but also coughed up a whopping 17 turnovers. Provided the Eagles can clean up their mistakes in the road rematch I like their chances.
