Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Lipscomb on Thursday, but the final result did not. They took an 80-71 hit to the loss column at the hands of Eastern Kentucky.

Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday’s game: Bellarmine has made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 9 threes per game. However, it’s not like Lipscomb struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 8.9. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Bellarmine was pulverized by Lipscomb 87-53 in their previous meeting two weeks ago. Can Bellarmine avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.
