North Alabama at Lipscomb odds, picks and predictions
The North Alabama Lions (20-8, 12-3 ASUN) visit the Lipscomb Bisons (19-9, 11-4) Thursday at Allen Arena in Nashville. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's college basketball odds around the North Alabama vs. Lipscomb odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
The 20-win Lions sit atop the ASUN standings, leading Lipscomb and Eastern Kentucky by a single game with just 3 regular-season outings remaining. A win by UNA will essentially wrap up the regular-season title, assuring a postseason berth. EKU faces Bellarmine Thursday.
North Alabama topped Lipscomb 74-64 as a 1-point underdog Jan. 23 as the Under (146.5) cashed in the first meeting at Flowers Hall in Florence, Alabama. G Jacari Lane, the team's leading scorer, posted 18 points with 6 assists and 4 rebounds against Lipscomb in the win. Lipscomb G Joe Anderson was good for a game-high 21 points on an efficient 9-for-13 in the loss to UNA. Anderson also added 3 steals.
The Lions streak in with 6 straight victories and covers since an outright loss at Queens (N.C.) Jan. 29.
Lipscomb was tripped up 66-57 as a 4-point favorite at Eastern Kentucky with the Under (155.5) cashing last time out on Tuesday, tumbling into a tie for second place in the ASUN.

North Alabama at Lipscomb picks and predictions
Prediction
North Alabama 76, Lipscomb 73
NORTH ALABAMA (+200) is a tremendous value on the road against Lipscomb (-250).
The Lions have won 20 games, and 6 in a row, and UNA got it done by 10 points at home Jan. 23 in the first meeting. The Lions have won and covered 3 in a row in this series, including an ASUN Tournament game last March.
Lipscomb (-250) is quite expensive for a team coming off a disappointing loss to Eastern Kentucky. Play the value here.

PLAY NORTH ALABAMA +6.5 (-110) on the road catching more than 3 buckets.
The Lions are the first-place team in the ASUN, and this team has a 10-point win over Lipscomb -6.5 (-110). The Lions have covered 6 in a row, while the Bisons are just 3-5-1 ATS in the past 9 outings.
OVER 147.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly.
The total has gone high in 3 of the past 4 games for Lipscomb and 5 of the previous 7 outings.
The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 outings for North Alabama, however, and the total did go low in the first meeting, so proceed with caution.
