COLLEGE BASKETBALL

INCARNATE WORD @ MCNEESE STATE (MCN -17.5, 141.5)

MCNEESE STATE TEAM TOTAL OVER 74.5

McNeese State is a team I have been watching all year. The Cowboys are the top team in the Southland Conference. They are 10-1 SU in conference play. Incarnate Word is 4-7 in Southland games this season. They have won their last two but prior to that had lost six straight games. In 4 of those 6, Incarnate Word gave up 81 or more points.


McNeese State averages 77.4 points per game. They rank 308th in possessions per game but 61st in Offensive Efficiency. That's because they are one of the nation's top shooting teams. The Cowboys rank 40th in overall FG percentage, shooting 48.1 percent from the floor.


I don't like the spread in this one. The number has actually moved in favor of UIW, but they have been blown out as many times as they have covered on the road this season. What I do like is McNeese to score at least 75 points. That is something they have done in 9 of their last 11 games.




LLEGE BASKETBALL

NORTH TEXAS @ UAB (UAB -2.5, 137.5)

OVER 137.5

We played North Texas and its defense on Saturday and picked up a win. The Mean Green held UTSA to just 54 points, but North Texas did lose 54-50 at home. The Mean Green held UAB to 75 points in the first meeting this season. North Texas won that game 78-75.


That is significant because UAB is the No. 8-ranked scoring team in the nation. The Blazers average 83.5 points per game. UAB also ranks 61st in possessions per game. You can bet the Blazers will try and push the pace again tonight. UAB can actually play that type of game which is why I think we see another game in the 70s.


The last six games played between these two teams have all gone Over the total. Five of those six games have seen at least one team score 70 or more points. UAB has scored at least 74 points in each of its last 13 games.
