This is a 10* BATTLE on Eastern Kentucky.

Here at the Diddle Arena, I'm expecting a battle until the end.

EKU is 3-2 and WKU is 5-3.

EKU is off the 77-76 win over Troy. It averages 91.2 PPG, while allowing 75.8.

WKU is averaging 81.1 PPG, while allowing 74.4.

This really is a case of this being a bad matchup for the Hilltoppers. Look for EKU's faster-pace and high-scoring ways to keep it competitive in this contest late.

Grab the points, the play is EKU.

Good luck, NP
