Lipscomb Bisons

The Bisons lost once at home in 2025-26, 13-1, and won only six of 17 on the road. Their moneyline followed the venue: 1.67 units made at home, 3.99 lost away.

Home was the whole case

The one home loss was 86-78 to Central Arkansas in February, with Lipscomb laying 3.5. One unit on the Bisons in each of the 12 priced home games returned 1.67 units, and only 74 Division I teams did better at home on that bet. The home spread was a closer call, 7 covers in 12.

The road, where the prices got short and still lost

Away they covered 7 of 17. The costliest night was 91-83 at Stetson in January as -850 favorites; later came 70-65 at Jacksonville at -192 and 84-78 at West Georgia at -258. The road also produced the best prices: 90-67 at Marshall as +300 underdogs and 88-77 at Southeast Missouri State at +130, back to back in late November.

Winning without covering

January was 8-2 straight up and only 4-6 against the spread. Laying double digits at home was the leak: North Florida by 8 with an 18.5-point line, Stetson by 5 against 15.5, Bellarmine by 10 against 11.5. Over the season Lipscomb covered 14 of 30, 46.7%, and 8 of 19 as favorites. Getting points was better: 6 covers in 11 as underdogs, three of them outright wins, and even a 97-73 loss at Duke in December came in under a 32.5-point spread.

Eastern Kentucky was the cleanest pair: two wins, two covers. Florida Gulf Coast was met three times and ended the season, 77-53 in the conference tournament with Lipscomb favored.

The total

Sixteen overs and 14 unders in 2025-26, with the Bisons scoring 79.66 points a game and allowing 75.72: no total lean worth taking into a Lipscomb game.
