What to Know

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles' road trip will continue as they head to Skyhawk Arena at 3 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the UT Martin Skyhawks. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Tennessee Tech ended up a good deal behind the Belmont Bruins when they played on Thursday, losing 92-77.

Meanwhile, UT Martin received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 76-62 to the Morehead State Eagles.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Golden Eagles are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are 0-3 against the spread when favored.

The losses put Tennessee Tech at 3-11 and UT Martin at 6-10. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: Tennessee Tech has allowed their opponents to shoot 45.80% from the floor on average, which is the 33rd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Skyhawks have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 48th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
