What to Know

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars and the Morehead State Eagles will face off in an Ohio Valley clash at 4 p.m. ET Jan. 22 at Ellis T Johnson Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Cougars winning the first 69-65 on the road and Morehead State taking the second 56-48.

The contest between SIU-Edwardsville and the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with SIU-Edwardsville falling 94-76 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, Morehead State netted an 83-74 win over the Belmont Bruins on Thursday.

SIU-Edwardsville have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 11.50 point spread they are up against. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

Morehead State's victory lifted them to 13-5 while SIU-Edwardsville's loss dropped them down to 7-10. We'll see if the Eagles can repeat their recent success or if the Cougars bounce back and reverse their fortune.
