The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Spartans in their matchups with the Bears: they've now lost three in a row.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask N. Kentucky). They blew past Cumberland (KY) 98-79 on Wednesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Norse.

Keep an eye on the arc in Sunday's contest: Norfolk State has been dynamite from deep this season, having made 36.9% of their threes per game. It's a different story for N. Kentucky, though, as they've only made 30.4% of their threes this season. Given Norfolk State's sizable advantage in that area, N. Kentucky will need to find a way to close that gap.

Norfolk State is hoping to beat the odds on Sunday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a six game streak of covering the spread when playing on the road.
