Northern Kentucky vs East Tennessee State Prediction
Northern Kentucky wants to get out and run and will have chances to hang in this game if it can control the pace. The problem is East Tennessee State can slow things down and frustrate NKU, and the Bucs have a clear edge on the glass. East Tennessee State is also usually a tough out at home. Over 40 minutes, ETSU should wear down Northern Kentucky and grind out a win and cover of the reasonable number. Northern Kentucky will be uncomfortable for much of this game.
