What to Know

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars and the Morehead State Eagles will face off in an Ohio Valley clash at 3 p.m. ET Jan. 28 at Ellis T Johnson Arena. Morehead State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Cougars will be looking to regain their footing.

The contest between SIU-Edwardsville and the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles on Thursday was not particularly close, with SIU-Edwardsville falling 80-68.

Meanwhile, Morehead State sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 76-72 win over the Little Rock Trojans on Thursday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, SIU-Edwardsville is expected to win a tight contest Saturday. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
