East Tennessee State is coming into this game with a 7-5 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming off of a big win against Elon at home in their last game, but they have lost 3 of their last 4 games. All 3 of those losses came on the road and they have been awful on the road this season at 1-4. Their offense has not been as good in these games either, scoring 61 points or less in 2 of their last 3 games on the road. They are going up against a UMKC team that is 7-7 this season and they are starting to heat up in their recent games. They have won their last 3 straight games and 2 of those wins came on the road as well. They have played in 5 home games this season, but 3 of those were against non-Division I teams. They lost their 1st home game against a Division I opponent against Idaho, but they won their last game at home against Bowling Green and will have some confidence coming into this home game with 3 straight wins. These teams are both very similar with their accuracy when it comes to shooting, but UMKC has a much bigger advantage from the free throw line and that could be the difference for them at home in a close game like this. UMKC will cover the spread in this game.
