Eastern Kentucky was competitive within the OVC this season, and had a banner season with 24 wins. The problem is that they padded their early schedule with cupcakes and started at 9-0, but essentially were in favorable situations in all of them. Gardner Webb posted 21 wins, beating DePaul and Charleston along the way, and were tough at home with a 13-2 mark. This team really came together late in the season and finished at 11-2 over their last 13. They have had a decided advantage at home all season, running the table at 4-0 ATS in their last four out-of-conference encounters. Home cookin makes the difference, so back Gardner Webb.
