Both teams are struggling this season, but SIU-Edwardsville did get a win over Missouri S&T, a Division II school, as Burak Eslik poured in 30 points and Jalen Henry added 20 points and 12 rebounds. The Cougars return four starters this season and already are one win shy of last season's win total. Tennessee Tech is 4-11 and 3-4 ATS and has lost five straight, including 66-58 at Miami Ohio on Dec. 22. The Golden Eagles shot only 35.6 percent with Hakeem Rogers and Aleksa Jugovic scoring 14 points apiece as the only players in double digits. Tennessee Tech has covered just once its last seven games after an ATS loss and it has shown the effects of losing its top two scorers from last year's squad. The Cougars are a small favorite in this matchup so play SIU-Edwardsville on the moneyline.
