The Eagles are on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matches, which provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. As for the Tigers, their loss dropped their record down to 8-8.

Saturday's contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Morehead State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 43.1 rebounds per game.
