What to Know

We've got another exciting Horizon League matchup on schedule as the PFW Mastodons and the N. Kentucky Norse are set to tip at 7:00 p.m. ET on January 25th at Truist Arena. PFW is staggering into the matchup hobbled by five consecutive losses, while N. Kentucky will skip in buoyed by three consecutive wins.

PFW and Clev. State couldn't quite live up to the 159.5-over/under that the experts had forecasted. The Mastodons fell 75-68 to the Vikings on Saturday. PFW has struggled against Clev. State recently, as their match on Saturday was their third consecutive lost matchup.

Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 17.9% better than the opposition, a fact N. Kentucky proved on Saturday. They put the hurt on the Phoenix with a sharp 74-52 victory.

The Mastodons bumped their record down to 13-7 with that defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road. As for the Norse, their win bumped their record up to 11-9.

Keep an eye on the arc in Thursday's matchup: PFW have been dynamite from deep this season, having nailed 37.1% of their threes per game. It's a different story for N. Kentucky, though, as they've only made 31.4% of their threes per game this season. Given PFW's sizeable advantage in that area, N. Kentucky will need to find a way to close that gap.

PFW is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last five times they've played.
