Eastern Kentucky at Belmont

The Belmont Bruins are 20-1 on the season, and they have been one of the top mid-major programs in college basketball. E. Kentucky will be one of the better teams they have faced, as the Colonels are 15-4 on the season. The Bruins can score but against the better programs they have faced, they put up just 68 and 71 points in two contests vs Murray State. I certainly think this will be an intense battle, and Belmont has built a reputation for offense vs a lot of bad teams, and I think they will be challenged here in this one. I look for a slower pace and locked in defense in a meaningful battle of two very solid programs. Make the play on the UNDER.
