Who's Playing
Longwood @ Old Dominion
Current Records: Longwood 4-2; Old Dominion 2-4
What to Know
The Longwood Lancers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last five games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Old Dominion Monarchs at 4 p.m. ET Friday at Chartway Arena. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
The Lancers entered their contest against the Western Carolina Catamounts on Sunday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Longwood took a 64-53 bruising from Western Carolina.
Meanwhile, Old Dominion came up short against the Pennsylvania Quakers on Sunday, falling 71-63. A silver lining for Old Dominion was the play of guard Jaylin Hunter, who had 15 points and eight assists in addition to six boards. Hunter hadn't helped his team much against the East Carolina Pirates last week, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Longwood is expected to lose this next one by 4. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Sunday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
The losses put the Lancers at 4-2 and the Monarchs at a reciprocal 2-4. Longwood doesn't typically stay down for long -- they're 1-0 after losses this year -- so Old Dominion (1-2 after losses) won't have an easy go of it.
