Youngstown State has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven contests by 22 points or more this season. They steamrolled past the Jaguars 78-50 on the road. Winning is a bit easier when your shooting is a whole 16.9% better than the opposition, as Youngstown State's was.

Meanwhile, N. Kentucky unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Thursday. They took a 63-58 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Mastodons. N. Kentucky didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

Keep an eye on the arc in Sunday's contest: Youngstown State have made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 9.3 threes per game. It's a different story for N. Kentucky, though, as they've been averaging only 5.6 threes per game. Given Youngstown State's sizeable advantage in that area, N. Kentucky will need to find a way to close that gap.

As for their next game, Youngstown State is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by seven points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last five times they've played.
