Result: Loss
Point Spread: 7.00 | -115.00 Morehead State (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: East Tennessee State will takes its 8-2 record to Morehead, Kentucky to take on the struggling Morehead State Eagles (just 2-7) for a Saturday afternoon tip. ETSU won 24 games last year and Morehead State won 23, making it all the way to the CBI finals, a best-of three event, losing in Game 3 at Nevada, 85-82 in OT.
East Tennessee State: The Buccaneers are led by guard T.J. Cromer (16.9 PPG) with seven others chipping in between 6.3 and 9.5 PPG. PG Bradford (9.5-3.9-4.4) is a nice complement to Cromer in the backcourt and ETSU's frontcourt has been bolstered this year by two transfers. There is the 6-9 Mosquera (8.6 & 5.5) from Indiana and the 6-8 Glass (6.7 & 5.6) from Wichita State.
Morehead State: The Eagles are not only off to a rough start with a 2-7 record but head coach Sean Woods has recently resigned following an investigation into alleged physical abuse of his players. The team lost its top-two scorers from last year, although Collins (11.0) and Arrington (10.2) didn't exactly light up the scoreboard. Through this year's turmoil, an eight-player rotation sees guys averaging between 5.1 and 12.9 PPG. Guard Moon (12.9) is the top scorer and the 6-6 Marrero (10.3 & 8.0) is the best frontcourt player.
The pick: It would be easy to pick against the Eagles right now, as they've lost SEVEN in a row but this is much better than its record and expect this home dog to bark loudly in this one. Morehead state is a 10* play.
