What to Know

The Jacksonville Dolphins lost both of their matches to the Bellarmine Knights last season on scores of 56-71 and 44-63, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. The Dolphins and Bellarmine will face off in an Atlantic Sun battle at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Freedom Hall. Bellarmine will be strutting in after a win while Jacksonville will be stumbling in from a loss.

Jacksonville was pulverized by the Liberty Flames 88-49 on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the North Alabama Lions typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Bellarmine proved too difficult a challenge. The Knights took their contest against the Lions 68-60.

The Dolphins are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Jacksonville is now 11-5 while Bellarmine sits at 10-8. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Jacksonville have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39%, which places them 21st in college basketball. But the Knights rank 15th in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 49.10% on the season. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
