UT Martin vs Little Rock Prediction

Little Rock has been the better team this season and has the rest advantage, but it has also lost four of its last six games. Little Rock has been shaky defensively during this losing stretch, and that includes allowing 93 points in a loss to Lindenwood as a near-double-digit favorite. UT Martin is coming off a nice win yesterday over Tennessee Tech and we’ve seen how sometimes games like that have a carryover effect. Little Rock beat Tennessee Tech twice this season, but one of those games was close and the other was competitive for about 25 minutes. Tennessee Tech has to feel like it can play with Little Rock. Give me UT Martin and the points.
