North Alabama ended a three-game losing streak in the regular-season finale, defeating Central Arkansas to even its conference record at 8-8 heading into the league’s tournament. The Lions are modest underdogs Tuesday night in its conference tournament opener against Lipscomb.
Lipscomb hit the 20-win mark for the second consecutive season and has its eyes on a conference tournament run and the program’s second all-time appearance in March Madness (2018). The Bisons won four straight and seven of eight overall to end the regular season, with the one loss in that stretch to North Alabama. Here’s the betting preview for Tuesday’s tilt with a best bet.
