What to Know

The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Northern Arizona and the Eastern Washington Eagles will face off in a Big Sky battle at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday at Reese Court. The Lumberjacks have some work to do to even out the 1-13 series between these two since January of 2016, but a win here would be a good start.

Things couldn't have gone much worse for Northern Arizona as they lost 73-49 to the Weber State Wildcats on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Eastern Washington was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 81-75 to the Sacramento State Hornets.

Northern Arizona is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
