College Basketball Preview - 02-13-2025 The Skyhawks return home for an OVC match-up against SIU Edwardsville, who have improved defensively this season compared to last. SIUE already picked up two OVC victories so far with Morehead State falling and SIUE beating SIUE two OVC times already this year (KK Rodriguez leading SIUE with 12.8 average scoring points per game).
UT Martin comes into this matchup having defeated the Leathernecks with an 81-70 home victory on January 23, thanks to their dominance on the boards. At halftime they led 38-34 before pulling away in the second half. Tarence Guinyard led this effort with 20 points, six rebounds and three assists while Vladimer Salaridze provided 18 points and six rebounds off the bench.
SIU Edwardsville has participated in 10 matches that are tracked statistically, and won four of them while losing six. On average, SIU Edwardsville scored 75.2 points per match while surrendering 76.7.
Over their last five games, the Cougars have scored more points than they have given up and limited opponents to fewer than 66 per game in that span, providing an opportunity to back them to cover the spread. Meanwhile, Skyhawks still give up plenty of points - which may account for why there's some appeal in betting against this 6.5-point line here.
