Betting Trends for vs
The Eastern Kentucky Colonels doubled their conference win total from last season as they went from 6-12 to 12-6, and they dominated Tennessee State in their latest matchup by 21 points. The Colonels are one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 77.9 PPG against Ohio Valley Conference opponents, and they have one of the best players in the conference with Jomaru Brown. Brown has been a huge reason behind Eastern Kentucky’s success this season as the sophomore guard is averaging 20.2 PPG, but he isn’t the only productive guard for this team as Ty Taylor II is pitching in 12.6 PPG. The Tennessee State Tigers have really struggled on both sides of the court this season as they rank 8th in points scored and 7th in points allowed, and I don’t see them having enough in the tank to win in back-to-back nights. Final Score Prediction, Eastern Kentucky Colonels win and cover ATS 76-61.
