MOREHEAD, Ky. -- There is a first time for everything. That's what Morehead State's men's basketball team will strive for Saturday when they take on the Belmont Bruins in the Curb Event Center at 5 p.m. ET.

The Eagles have not scored a win over the Bruins on their home floor yet, but Morehead State will look to rebound from a setback Thursday at Tennessee State with a solid effort against one of the league's front-runners.

The Eagles are 9-9 overall and 3-2 in the OVC. Belmont sits at 13-5 overall and 4-1 in the conference. They have been beaten once on their home hardwood, by SIUE this season.

The game will air live on ESPN+ and also on WIVY-96.3 FM and MSUEagles.com.
