Motivation will play a role as far as Middle Tennessee’s desire to be in this tournament and who has entered the portal, and what if any injuries they are dealing with. This was a nine point game two seasons ago when Chattanooga beat the Blue Raiders. The Mocs probably want to finish the season on a good note so this game should be competitive and one that they can at least cover the spread in. The Mocs have been shooting much better in the field while the Blue Raiders have struggled with offense and have been inconsistent throughout the season. Go with the motivated team in the Mocs.

Best bet: take Chattanooga and the points.
