Eastern Michigan is coming into this game with a 4-2 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games with a tough schedule as well. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games and they have played their last 4 straight games on the road as well. Their 2 losses this season came against Texas State and Cleveland State on the road, but they have won their last 2 games on the road against Oakland and Houston Christian. Houston Christian is hosting the tournament, but now this game will feel more like a neutral location game which will help Eastern Michigan who has played very well in hostile environments all season. Their defense has also been great as they have not allowed more than 73 points in any of their 6 games this season, allowing 64 points or less in 3 of those games. They are going up against a Northern Arizona team that is 5-1 this season and has also been playing very well in their recent games. Their only loss this season came on the road against Stanford in a blowout, but they have won their last 3 straight games. They have won their last 3 games, but 2 of those wins came at home and 1 was also against a team that does not play in Division I. They have actually had a very weak schedule this season as 3 of their wins this year have come against teams that do not play in Division I, and even their last 2 wins against Division I opponents were not very impressive. They beat Pacific on the road but Pacific has been awful over the last few seasons and they only won that game by 3 points. They are coming off of a win against Incarnate Word in their last game, but they only won that game by 1 point at home. Their defense has been good, but they have not truly been tested by a good offense as they have allowed 74+ points in 2 of their 3 games against Division I opponents. Northern Arizona got off to a hot start with a very favorable schedule but Eastern Michigan has been playing much better against stronger opponents and that is going to be the difference here. Eastern Michigan will cover the spread in this game.
