Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

N. Alabama's four-game losing streak finally came to an end on Thursday. They strolled past the Knights with points to spare, taking the game 69-53. Winning is a bit easier when you outrebound your opponent 14 to 3 on the offensive boards, as N. Alabama did.

The Lions' win bumped their record up to 7-9. As for the Colonels, their victory ended a seven-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 7-9.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. N. Alabama hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.2 points per game. However, it's not like Eastern Kentucky struggles in that department as they've been averaging 81.5 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
