We'll be playing Lipscomb University (Nashville, TN) at 6 PM. Lipscomb finished 20-11 overall this season, 12-6 in the ASUN.

Common opponents:
Missouri - we lost 75-55, they lost 78-57
Tennessee State - we won 88-67 and lost 70-66, they won 83-61
Morehead State - we won 92-63 and won 78-73 in OT, they won 71-53

Massey says we're pretty evenly matched: https://masseyratings.com/game.php?s0=6 ... &oid1=8754
Lipscomb is favored, but barely. It's listed as exactly a 50/50 toss-up with the most likely score being 73-72 for them.

Glad to see they are dropping the price on tickets, I hope they get a decent size crowd to support them.

I’d love to win a game or two and go into the offseason with some momentum. I believe that this roster will compete next year for the OVC title if we can keep the core together.
