What to Know

The Cent. Arkansas Bears and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks will face off in an Atlantic Sun clash at 8 p.m. ET Jan. 18 at Farris Center. The Bears are out to keep their five-game home win streak alive.

The North Alabama Lions typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Cent. Arkansas proved too difficult a challenge. Cent. Arkansas escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 89-88.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Jacksonville State and the Eastern Kentucky Colonels this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Jacksonville State wrapped it up with a 76-65 win on the road.

Cent. Arkansas have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.50 point spread they are up against. They have been good against the spread at home while the Gamecocks have been good against the spread on the road, so something will have to give.

Their wins bumped the Bears to 6-11 and Jacksonville State to 10-6. Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
