Stetson is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 Thursday games while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games overall. Lipscomb is 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a win.
I get the case that could be made for Stetson after such a dominant performance over Eastern Kentucky last time out, but the reality is that the Hatters have been so inconsistent in terms of their scoring outputs and it’s just hard to trust because you never know which team is going to show up. Lipscomb’s had their ups and downs but they’re healthy once again and while the wins and losses haven’t been consistent, the outputs on the scoreboard have been and that’s all I need here. Give me Lipscomb at home in this one.
