TOP PLAYS
3 UNIT PLAYS
Cincinnati/ San Diego State Under 110.5: Question here is, can either team hit 55 points. I will say no. Both of these teams play a very slow brand of ball as they Bearcats come in 289th in shots per game, while the Aztecs are 240th. Both of these teams play excellent defense as the Aztecs are 14th in points allowed, giving up just 55 ppg, while the Bearcats are 8th in points allowed, giving up just 52.8 ppg. on the offensive end of the floor the Bearcats have averaged just 61.2 ppg, while the Aztecs have put up just 62.3 ppg. Both teams are low possession teams and when they do have the ball they don't do a whole lot with it, especially since both teams are poor shooting teams overall, from long range and at the charity stripe. I just can see how there will be enough possessions for either team, against these defenses to put up 111 points. Im not even sure that 100 points will be scored in this one. The Under is 25-10 in San Diego State's last 35 games, while the Under is 44-11 in Cincinnati's last 55 overall and 41-12 in their last 53 non-conference games. 50-48 sounds about right for this one.
Illinois/ Hampton Under 140: The Illini have averaged 92 ppg at home, but i Just can't see them getting near that number tonight vs a Hampton squad that has allowed just 67.6 ppg on the year and is 46th in the nation in defensive FG% (38.2%). Offensively the Pirates have been poor this year, averaging just 64.4 ppg, while shooting just 40.5% from the field, which is 282nd in the nation. On Defense the Illini have been solid, allowing just 65.2 ppg overall and just 63.2 ppg at home. The Under is 10-2 in the Pirate's last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, while the Under is 20-7 in the Fighting Illini's last 27 games following a ATS loss. Very hard to see this one hitting 140+.
BEST OF THE REST
NC State/ Tennessee Under 132: Both teams play a rather slow brand of ball and the Wolfpack is an excellent defensive squad, so I will look to the Under in this one. NC State has averaged 73.9 pgg, but the Vols defense isn't all that bad, allowing just 66.9 ppg on the year. Tennessee is not a good offensive team as they put up just 65.9 ppg, while the Wolfpack have allowed just 59.2 ppg. Both teams are poor from the charity stripe and neither team is good from long range. I see this one staying in the 120s.
