What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Morehead State Eagles will be on the road. They will take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs at 3 p.m. ET Sunday at Humphrey Coliseum. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

Morehead State took their contest against the Transylvania Pioneers this past Thursday by a conclusive 84-59 score.

Meanwhile, MSU strolled past the Detroit Titans with points to spare this past Wednesday, taking the matchup 77-64. The Bulldogs can attribute much of their success to guard Shakeel Moore, who had 19 points, and guard Iverson Molinar, who had 19 points and six assists.

The Eagles are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.

The wins brought Morehead State up to 3-2 and MSU to 3-0. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Morehead State has allowed their opponents an average of 10.3 steals per game, the most in college basketball. To make matters even worse for the Eagles, the Bulldogs come into the game boasting the 31st most steals per game in college basketball at 10.3. In other words, Morehead State will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
