The ASUN has undergone a makeover this season. Liberty, which boasted Darius McGhee three-time conference player of the year from 2021-23, transferred to Conference USA ahead of this season. Then, there’s defending champion Kennesaw State, experiencing a down year after the Owls won the 2023 Atlantic Sun Tournament. Amir Abdur-Rahim, their former head coach, mans the sideline for first-place South Florida in the AAC.

This time, A.W. Hamilton guided Eastern Kentucky to its first regular-season title since moving to the league in 2021-22. As noted in the odds board, the Colonels are favored to win the ASUN tournament. Despite going 4-9 in non-conference play, they went 12-4 versus league competition.

Stetson and Lipscomb were tied behind EKU in the ASUN standings, but the Hatters earned the higher seed after winning their lone head-to-head matchup. In fact, Donnie Jones’ crew has plenty of attention in the betting market, seeing its odds shorten after opening at +500.

Nevertheless, Stetson is arguably the most fortunate team in the field. The Hatters rank No. 14 in KenPom’s luck factor. This metric uses the deviation in winning percentage, concerning their actual and expected record. Most notably, Stetson produced six wins by at most two possessions or in overtime. That insinuates positive variance, considering those games were conceivably coin-flips.

Then again, Stetson two-guard Jalen Blackmon is capable of carrying the Hatters to three straight wins. Blackmon averages 21.1 points per game, the 14th-highest scoring average across Division I.
