How To Watch
What to Know
Stetson has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Stetson Hatters and the N. Alabama Lions will face off in an Atlantic Sun battle at 8:45 p.m. ET on Thursday at CB&S Bank Arena at Flowers Hall. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Winning is just a little bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 26% better than the opposition, a fact Stetson proved on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Bisons as the Hatters made off with a 80-59 victory.
Meanwhile, the oddsmakers set the bar high, but N. Alabama and Queens didn’t disappoint and broke past the 162.5 point over/under on Saturday. The Lions beat the Royals by the very same score they won with last week: 90-84. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.
The Hatters’ win bumped their record up to 13-9. As for the Lions, the victory makes it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 9-12.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the pair are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Stetson hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.8 points per game. However, it’s not like N. Alabama struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 77.6 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Stetson took their win against N. Alabama in their previous meeting back in February of 2023 by a conclusive 79-57. The rematch might be a little tougher for Stetson since the team won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
