Belmont at UT Chattanooga

Belmont has lost three of its four road games surrendering 89, 77, and 87 points in the three defeats. Belmont was actually favored in two of those games. UT Chattanooga is off to a strong start, especially at home where they've won five of six. The offense shoots 48% as a team with 7-foot senior center Jake Stephens (21.6 ppg, 9.6 rpg) pounding the low post, plus they shoot 39.8% from 3-point land. Stephens has been a terrific addition after playing at VMI the previous four seasons. UT Chattanooga was 9-1 last season when they lost at Belmont in a close one. Home court and the addition of Stephens will be difference-makers, so back the home team to win the game. Play UT Chattanooga on the moneyline.
