UT Martin vs Lindenwood Prediction 

UT Martin comes into this matchup after their winning streak was snapped in their last game and they will be on the road here. The Skyhawks are shooting 43% from the field and they have allowed 61 points or fewer in four straight games. Lindenwood has won three of their last four games, but they have allowed at least 78 points in three of their last five. I think this is a game that could go either way, but UT Martin is the much better defensive team and they already beat Lindenwood by 14 points. Take the Skyhawks here.
