It’s an OVC clash in St. Charles, Missouri, as Morehead State visits Lindenwood on Saturday, January 31. Tip-off is set for the afternoon, with Morehead State entering as a solid road favorite. Both teams are trending in different directions, and the line reflects it.
Morehead State (15–6, 8–2 OVC) sits near the top of the standings, riding a five-game winning streak and covering four of them. Lindenwood (6–15, 2–8 OVC) has shown brief sparks but remains one of the league’s weakest teams statistically. The question here is whether the Eagles can maintain their defensive dominance away from home — or if this is a sleepy spot against a desperate opponent.

Morehead State Eagles Betting Form
Morehead State has been dominant defensively — they lead the OVC in defensive efficiency and are holding opponents under 41% from the field. Their rebounding is a major strength, and they don’t give up many easy second-chance buckets. Offensively, they’re methodical but effective, relying on their inside game and ball movement to generate high-percentage looks.
Road games are always a little trickier in conference play, but they’ve handled business against weaker teams. Their only recent loss came on the road in a tough spot — and they bounced back strong after.

Lindenwood Lions Betting Form
Lindenwood is young and scrappy, but overmatched in most OVC games. They struggle on the boards, shoot poorly from deep, and turn the ball over more than 14 times per game. At home, they’ve hung in a few contests — but they rarely close.
Their best shot at competing is to speed things up and get hot from three. Problem is, they’ve been ice cold recently — and opponents are shooting nearly 50% in the paint against them.

Morehead State Eagles vs Lindenwood Lions Matchup Breakdown
This is a mismatch on paper. Morehead dominates on the glass, protects the rim, and has much better ball security. Lindenwood doesn’t have the length or discipline to stop the Eagles’ halfcourt sets.
Key matchup edges:
- Morehead State +8.4 rebound margin (1st in OVC)
- Lindenwood allows 1.12 PPP (worst in conference)
- Lindenwood is 1–6 ATS at home in OVC play
- Eagles win margin in last five: +13.2
Unless Morehead has a major letdown or fouls pile up, they should control from start to finish.
Morehead State Eagles vs Lindenwood Lions Predictions and Best Bets
I’m laying it with Morehead State -8.5. They’re simply better in every facet and are playing with confidence. This is a game they need to win big to stay in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the OVC tourney. Lindenwood will have a few short runs — but over 40 minutes, the Eagles are too disciplined.
Slight lean Over 136 if you think Lindenwood hits a few threes. But the stronger play is with the side.
Best Bet: Morehead State Eagles -8.5 (-110).
