Can Stetson Win Again? 

Any confidence that Stetson might have had is now gone and they have lost five games in a row. Two games ago against Eastern Kentucky, they lost 83-58, and in the last game against Lipscomb, they lost 93-60. Treyton Thompson was the top player, putting up 15 points and five rebounds. He was the only real bright spot with the offense, though, and they need to get the offense out to a fast start. Getting out to a slow start here would probably be a death sentence to their chances. 

Stetson currently sits with a 7-19 record overall and they have gone 11-13-1 against the spread. Away from home this season they sit with a 3-9 record overall. Stetson is averaging 71.8 points while their defense is giving up 82.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 252nd in the league while the defense is ranked 345th. Mehki Ellison has been the top player for Stetson, averaging 15.4 points while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Austin Peay Looks for Third Straight

Austin Peay is looking for their third straight win, and they have all kinds of confidence right now. Two games ago against Central Arkansas, they won 90-67, and in the last game against Florida Gulf Coast, they were able to secure a 73-60 victory. At halftime, they were up 37-30 and they never looked back on the way to the victory. There were five different players that put up at least 10 points. Sai Witt also had quite the season putting up 18 points, six rebounds, and two assists. The last win was impressive and they need to get out to a fast start here. 

Austin Peay sits with an 11-15 record overall and they have gone 11-13 against the spread. At home this season they are 5-4 straight up. Austin Peay is averaging 70.2 points, while their defense is giving up 73.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 283rd in the league while the defense is ranked 238th.

Stetson vs Austin Peay Prediction

I believe Stetson is going to find a way to keep this game close. The offenses for these teams are similar, it’s the defenses that are different. That being said, this is still too many points to lay with Austin Peay. Austin Peay is still giving up 73.5 points per game and Stetson is going to have no issue running up the score. Austin Peay will still probably win, but this is still too many points. Back Stetson to keep it close and they will cover the spread.
