Western Kentucky at Denver University

Western Kentucky doesn't have a lot of wins, but is a young team that's playing hard. They've lost two of the last three games by a single basket. The Hilltoppers are second in the Sun Belt Conference in scoring, free-throw percentage and offensive rebounds in conference games. Denver comes home from a grueling three-game road trip at Arkansas State, at South Alabama and at Colorado State. They looked worn out in the last game - a loss, giving up 79 points while failing to cover. They are 2-4 ATS the last six games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a losing straight-up record. Denver is 6-9 all-time against the Hilltoppers overall, including a 3-5 mark at Magness Arena. Denver is not a powerhouse offensive team, slowing the pace down under head coach Joe Scott, yet they are a big favorite here. The Pioneers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight against the Sun Belt and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games as a home favorite of -13.0 or greater. Play Western Kentucky.
