Stetson vs Bellarmine Prediction

I’ll stick with Bellarmine I suppose. Probably not touching this one, though. The Knights were able to power past Queens U last weekend thanks to 50.9 percent shooting from the field and a nice 88.9 percent (16-of-18) from the line. The 30-26 rebounding edge was nice as well. Bellarmine has won three of the last four games, scoring 77 or more points in all of those. The Knights are giving up quite a bit on the other side these days too, however.

As for Stetson, they shot a tepid 40.4 percent from the field in their latest loss to North Alabama last weekend, giving up 48.1 percent on the other side. The Hatters are on a 1-4 skid right now, giving up 73 or more points in four of those five games.
