Matchup Breakdown
Morehead State’s path starts with volume scoring. The Eagles average more than 77 points per game and rank inside the national top 110 in field goal percentage. Jon Carroll continues to lead production inside, while George Marshall provides reliable scoring support. If Morehead State maintains shot volume and limits turnovers, the spread stays in play.
SIUE’s edge comes from balance and rebounding. The Cougars average nearly 39 boards per game and defend well in half-court sets. Ring Malith anchors the offense and consistently scores in isolation and transition. When SIUE controls pace, they limit scoring runs and force opponents into tougher looks late in possessions.
