What to Know

After two games on the road, the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles are heading back home. They will take on the Troy Trojans at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Hooper Eblen Arena.

Tennessee Tech was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 74-69 to the Western Carolina Catamounts.

Meanwhile, Troy was close but no cigar on Sunday as they fell 72-68 to the Southeastern Louisiana Lions. That makes it the first time this season the Trojans have let down their home crowd.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Tennessee Tech is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

These two teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. The teams are out to make things right after dropping matches they were expected to win, so stay tuned to see which team bounces back.
