What to Know

The Southeast Missouri State Redhawks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the PFW Mastodons at 1 p.m. ET Saturday at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Southeast Missouri State should still be feeling good after a victory, while PFW will be looking to right the ship.

The Redhawks sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 75-73 win over the Evansville Aces on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, things couldn't have gone much worse for PFW as they lost 80-59 to the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars on Wednesday.

Southeast Missouri State is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Southeast Missouri State's win brought them up to 5-4 while the Mastodons' defeat pulled them down to a reciprocal 4-5. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Redhawks are stumbling into the contest with the 33rd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.4 on average. PFW has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.40% from the floor on average, which is the 11th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
