What to Know

An Ohio Valley battle is on tap between the Tennessee State Tigers and the Austin Peay Governors at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Gentry Center. Austin Peay will be strutting in after a victory while Tennessee State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Tigers found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 85-63 punch to the gut against the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks on Thursday.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between the Governors and the UT Martin Skyhawks on Thursday was still a pretty decisive one as Austin Peay wrapped it up with a 72-57 win on the road.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Tennessee State is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 2-6 against the spread when favored.

When the two teams previously met in January of last year, Tennessee State lost to Austin Peay on the road by a decisive 71-56 margin. Maybe the Tigers will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
