UT Martin vs Tennessee Tech Prediction 

Neither one of these teams had a great season in the OVC, but they will look to get one step closer to the NCAA Tournament with a win here. UT Martin has lost three of their last four games and they are shooting just 41.7% from the field this year. Tennessee Tech has lost two games in a row and they are shooting 43.3% from the field. The Golden Eagles have had some defensive issues this year and they have allowed at least 74 points in five of their last six games. Tennessee Tech won both of the regular season meetings by scores of 89-85 and 71-66, and while I don’t love their defense, I like them to get another win here.
