What to Know

The Eastern Kentucky Colonels and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks are set to square off in an Atlantic Sun matchup at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 23 at Pete Mathews Coliseum. Jacksonville State should still be feeling good after a win, while the Colonels will be looking to get back in the win column.

Eastern Kentucky came up short against the Cent. Arkansas Bears this past Saturday, falling 83-76.

Meanwhile, Jacksonville State strolled past the Bellarmine Knights with points to spare on Sunday, taking the matchup 82-67.

Eastern Kentucky is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past four games.

In the teams' previous meeting in January, Eastern Kentucky lost to the Gamecocks at home by a decisive 76-65 margin. Can the Colonels avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
