Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-24
• Time: 12:00 AM UTC
• Location: Robert F. Hyland Arena, St. Charles, MO

Game Overview

The Lindenwood Lions host the UMKC Kangaroos at home in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup. Lindenwood has a 2-4 overall record with a 1-0 home record, showing moderate home strength. UMKC enters with a 1-4 record and is on a three-game road losing streak, struggling particularly with defensive issues, giving up an average of 86.4 points per game. Offensively, both teams have solid contributors but Lindenwood’s defense and rebounding edge may be critical.

Key Factors to Consider

• Lindenwood is averaging competitive defense with strong defensive rebounds per game (23.7) led by Milos Nenadic. Key offensive boosts come from Anias Futrell (11.8 PPG, 34.6% 3PT) and Jadis Jones (15.8 PPG). UMKC is relying on CJ Evans (12.6 PPG, 3.4 APG) and Jayson Petty (12.4 PPG) with a weaker defense allowing 86.4 points per game, indicating vulnerability on that end.
• Lindenwood trails UMKC 0-2 all-time against them, with the last meeting in 2023 resulting in a close 72-67 win for UMKC. Few current players have previous H2H experience, making this contest somewhat open.
• No major injuries reported that significantly impact starting lineups for either team.
• UMKC's ongoing three-game road skid adds pressure, while Lindenwood has home-court advantage and a strong defensive rebounding margin, vital in controlling pace.
• UMKC is motivated to break their road losing streak and improve their record, while Lindenwood seeks to build a winning momentum at home and capitalize on their defensive strengths.

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-25

• Location: Fifth Third Arena, Cincinnati

Game Overview

The Cincinnati Bearcats host the NJIT Highlanders in a non-conference NCAAB matchup. Cincinnati enters as heavy favorites, boasting a 4-1 record and strong recent form, while NJIT is 3-3 and coming off a road loss. The game is expected to be a mismatch, with Cincinnati favored by over 30 points. The total is set at 138.5, suggesting a moderate-scoring game.

Key Factors to Consider

• Cincinnati is 4-1 in their last 5 games, averaging 78.6 points per game and allowing 64.2. They have covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 games. NJIT is 3-3, averaging 72.7 points per game and allowing 73.5. They have covered the spread in 2 of their last 5 games. Cincinnati is coming off a loss to Louisville, while NJIT lost to Navy.
• No recent head-to-head history is available for these teams. This is a rare matchup, with no prior meetings in the last 10 years.
• No significant injuries have been reported for either team.
• Cincinnati is playing at home, where they have a strong record. The game is not a conference matchup, so neither team is playing for a tournament or league position. The weather is not a factor as the game is indoors.
• Cincinnati is motivated to bounce back from their loss to Louisville and maintain a strong non-conference record. NJIT is motivated to prove themselves against a Power 5 opponent and potentially cover a large spread.
