#306545 ASA PLAY ON Lipscomb -3.5 over Eastern Kentucky, Tuesday at 7 PM ET - Lipscomb sits in 1st place in the Atlantic Sun and they are easily the best team in the league ranking 86th nationally per KenPom. No other team in that conference ranks above 114th. We’re getting the best team in the league with some extra motivation as they lost at home vs EKU just a few weeks ago. In that game the Bisons shot only 39% which is well below their season average of 48% in league play which ranks them #1 in the conference. EKU ranks 9th defensively in the ASun in FG% allowed at 46% so it’s not as if they are a lock down defensive team. It was just one of those games for the Lipscomb offense. Speaking of #1, here are the stats that Lipscomb leads the Asun in…FG%, scoring margin (+12.4 PPG), defensive FG%, defensive 3 point FG%, defensive scoring (allowing 67 PPG), and defensive rebounding. 8 of their 11 conference wins have come by double digits and none by less than 5 points. On the road this team has only lost once in league play vs Northern Alabama who is tied with Lipscomb for 1st place in the conference. The Bison were favored by 9.5 in their loss vs EKU and now we’re getting them at a low number because they are on the road. Great value as this team is outstanding on the road and EKU doesn’t have a great home court advantage (already 3 home losses this season). All 3 of those losses came vs teams ranked 112th or lower, well below this Lipscomb team. EKU is 10-4 in the conference but they rank middle of the pack in the league (5th per KenPom) and they have a negative FG% differential and 3 point FG% differential in conference games. Lipscomb is the much better team and extra motivated for this one. We’ll lay it.
