UT Martin @ Evansville

Current Records: UT Martin 4-7; Evansville 4-8

What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the UT Martin Skyhawks will be on the road. They will take on the Evansville Aces at 5 p.m. ET Saturday at Ford Center. The Skyhawks should still be riding high after a win, while Evansville will be looking to regain their footing.

The UNC-Asheville Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday UT Martin proved too difficult a challenge. UT Martin had enough points to win and then some against UNC-Asheville, taking their matchup 79-68.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Evansville as they fell 75-73 to the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks last week.

UT Martin is expected to lose this next one by 8.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Tuesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The Skyhawks' victory brought them up to 4-7 while the Aces' defeat pulled them down to 4-8. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: UT Martin is 53rd worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 73.9 on average. Evansville has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 15th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 61.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
