What to Know

The Tennessee State Tigers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Morehead State Eagles and are hoping to record their first win since March 4 of 2020. The Tigers and Morehead State will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 9 p.m. ET Thursday at Gentry Center. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The stars were brightly shining for Tennessee State in a 98-83 victory over the Brescia Bearcats last week.

Meanwhile, the stars were brightly shining for Morehead State in a 66-50 win over the Alice Lloyd College Eagles last Wednesday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Tennessee State is expected to win a tight contest. There could be an interesting gambling play in this one, as they have done quite well against the spread at home this season while Morehead State have struggled against the spread on the road.

The Tigers ended up a good deal behind Morehead State when they played when the two teams previously met in January, losing 67-54. Maybe Tennessee State will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
