The Skyhawks might be looking at their last chance to avoid a winless season in the Ohio Valley, and Tennessee-Martin has the perfect opportunity vs. SE Missouri State.
Our Tuesday night college basketball selection is on Tennessee-Martin minus the points at home over the Southeast Missouri St Redhawks.
The Skyhawks are 0-12 in the Ohio Valley Conference, and tonight's game against SEMO probably represents their last (realistic) chance to get a win in conference play. After all, SE Missouri is in eighth place in the 10-team league, and Tennessee-Martin's only other home game on the schedule is against fifth-place Eastern Illinois.
Southeast Missouri has dropped four consecutive conference games, by an average margin of 15.5 ppg since defeating Tennessee Martin at home, 77-63, back on January 21. But that was SEMO's first victory vs. the Skyhawks in five games, and I look for Tenn-Martin to win big tonight.
The last time the Redhawks won at Skyhawk Arena was over three years ago. Tennessee-Martin has won six of the last eight meetings between these two schools on this floor.
Lay the points on the Skyhawks.
Free Pick: Tennessee-Martin -3½ (-110)
