Tenn Martin at Evansville

The Evansville Purple Aces were not on the level of fellow conference foes in the Missouri Valley this season, as Wichita State and Northern Iowa ruled the roost. They do have a very solid team, and shoot the ball exceptionally well at 47.7% for the season, good for #19 in the country. They also knock down their free throws at nearly 75%. Tennessee Martin has shot the ball well, but have averaged far fewer points on the road at 69.3%. Evansville has stepped on the gas in CIT play as they have scored over 80 points in each of their three games, and that should be the difference in this one. The Skyhawks have had historic problems stepping up in class and going head-to-head vs. Missouri Valley teams as they are just 1-10 ATS in their last 11 against them. This game could be tight, but in the end the Purple Aces are home, shooting the ball well, and have more answers. Evansville is also 9-2 straight-up this season in non-conference games. Skyhawks head coach Heath Schroyer is just 7-17 straight-up on the road in non-conference games. Play Evansville on the moneyline.
