Both will face off in an Ohio Valley battle at 3:30 p.m. ET at Johnson Arena. The timing is sure in the Eagles' favor as the squad sits on six straight wins at home (dating back to last season) while the Tigers have been banged up by eight consecutive losses on the road also dating back to last season.

On Thursday, Morehead State needed a bit of extra time to put away UT Martin. They slipped by the Skyhawks 70-69. The score was all tied up 31-31 at the break, but the Eagles were the better team in the second half.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Morehead State has been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37.5 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Tennessee State (currently ranked third) struggles in that department as they've been averaging 45.5. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
