Northern Kentucky vs Bellarmine Prediction

I’ll stick with the Norse. Northern Kentucky blew right past Brescia in their last outing, hitting 47.5 percent from the field with a 48-29 rebounding edge. The Norse did have 13 turnovers and a modest 10 team assists though, so there’s always room for improvement. In any case, Northern Kentucky has been scoring great since taking consecutive losses early in the season, notching 74 or more points in eight straight games (a 7-1 run).

As for Bellarmine, they had some trouble with a pretty solid Murray State team last weekend despite shooting 51 percent from the field. The Knights were out-rebounded 33-16 in the defeat and gave up 52.6 percent shooting to the Racers on the other side. Still, the Knights are scoring pretty well these days; they’ve hit 68 or more points in eight straight games.
