What to Know
After a four-game homestand, the Bellarmine Knights will be on the road. They and the Evansville Aces will compete for holiday cheer at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at Ford Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Bellarmine entered their game against the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks this past Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. The Knights fell just short of Miami (Ohio) by a score of 71-67.
Meanwhile, Evansville lost to the Ball State Cardinals on the road by a decisive 88-69 margin. The top scorers for Evansville were guard Marvin Coleman II (17 points) and guard Kenny Strawbridge Jr. (15 points).
Barring any buzzer beaters, Bellarmine is expected to win a tight contest. Those burned by picking them against the spread this past Saturday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
The Knights are now 5-7 while the Aces sit at 3-9. Bellarmine is 2-4 after losses this year, Evansville 2-6.
