What to Know
The Morehead State Eagles have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers at 2 p.m. ET Dec. 11 at Ellis T Johnson Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
The Eagles entered their matchup against the North Alabama Lions two weeks ago without any home losses — but there’s a first time for everything. Morehead State was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 81-75 to North Alabama.
Meanwhile, E. Tennessee State was close but no cigar last week as they fell 63-61 to the Jacksonville State Gamecocks.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Morehead State is expected to win a tight contest Sunday. Those burned by picking them against the spread two weeks ago might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Morehead State came up short against the Buccaneers when the two teams previously met in December of last year, falling 82-75. Maybe the Eagles will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
