Eastern Kentucky (5-1, 1-0 OVC) at Morehead State (3-4, 0-1 OVC) – 6:00 PM EST (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to the mountains of Morehead, Kentucky for a matchup between the Eagles of Morehead State and the Colonels of Eastern Kentucky. Both teams already met last week in Richmond, Kentucky where Morehead jumped out to a 16-point lead in the first half, but EKU was able to mount a second-half comeback and ended up winning 71-68 thanks to a 29-point performance from Michael Moreno.
Morehead has won all three games at home, although only one game was against D-1 competition (a 69-61 win against Arkansas State). Most recently, they won back-to-back games against non-D1 Transylvania University at home. Johnl Broome (11.7 PPG) and DeVon Cooper (10.6 PPG) lead a balanced offensive attack for the Eagles.
