Meanwhile, Lipscomb was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 77-71 to the Bellarmine Knights.

Eastern Kentucky is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take Eastern Kentucky against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past four consecutive games.
