Eastern Kentucky has beaten Tennessee St twice this season for the same reason they'll beat them tonight. The Colonels are #4 in the country in tempo and are #19 in forcing turnovers while the Tigers are #350 in offensive turnover percentage. EKU did finish the season going 2-3 the final 5 games but all 3 L's were to Austin Peay, Belmont & Murray St the clear top 3 teams in the conference and battle tested as of late. With EKU having the 4 seed they are now facing a Tenn St squad that has 16 TO's vs the #8 seed last night and need OT to get advance to this game. Eastern Kentucky is a very solid play here in this one on Thursday night.
