*3 Star Free Pick* Florida A&M isn't a good shooting team at all. They were 13/19 from 3 point range against Jacksonville in the first meeting between these two. Jacksonville is usually a relatively good defense. The Dolphins are good at controlling the pace against similar or weaker teams. 

Jacksonville was pummeled by Texas A&M last game,  and I think that makes them lock in defensively here against a much weaker team. 

Take the under.

(11-1 Last 12 plays overall. 108-55 last 163 plays. Three CBB and one CFB play up for Wednesday)

*3 Star Play Under* The Citadel messed around and tried pushing the pace a few times earlier this year, and it went terribly. They have settled back into their very slow pace. Their last five games have all stayed under this total. The Citadel is a bottom 25 tempo team.

Charleston is far slower than they were a year ago. They are 269th in overall tempo this season. The Cougars have played a lot of very good offenses, and they are stepping way down in class here.

Take the under. 

*3 Star Play Under* The Mercyhurst Lakers are dead last in the nation in average possession length. They are stalling in every way possible. They don't have the firepower to win higher scoring games, and they don't have the outside shooters they have had in the past. Mercyhurst is taking a bunch of shots inside the paint and mid range jumpers. Syracuse has elite shot blockers, and I think they'll shut them down here.

Syracuse isn't very good on offense without Freeman. The Orange have had some pretty low scoring games against weak opponents.

Take the under. 

*4 Star Play Under* The Northern Iowa Panthers are an excellent under team. Northern Iowa is 25th nationally in defensive efficiency. They are 352nd in tempo, so they play extremely slowly. The Panthers are 296th in shot selection. They are an impressive 33rd in shot selection allowed.

UIC is 213th in overall tempo. The Flames rely on two things on offense- offensive rebounds and getting to the free throw line. UIC struggles badly in the halfcourt too. N Iowa is excellent in transition defense, and they are very good at defending without fouling and grabbing defensive rebounds. 

Northern Iowa has seen 7 of their last 8 stay under this total in regulation. The one that went over got to just 138 points and it was against an Oakland team that has been an over machine.

Take the under here. 

*3 Star Play Over* The Delaware Blue Hens defense has been overmatched against good rushing attacks. Delaware has allowed a whopping 23 rushes of 20 yards or more this season. That's among the worst in the nation. Whether it is Lunch Winfield or Walker Howard, I would expect Louisiana to be able to move the ball well in this one.

Delaware's offense is top 25 in plays per minute. They'll push the pace and get plenty of plays off in this one. The Louisiana defense is 127th in the nation in defensive success rate allowed. Delaware's passing attack is likely to move the ball pretty easily in this game.

Delaware played a 61-31 game against UTEP. They played a 59-30 game against Liberty. They gave up 52 points and a whopping 9.7 yards per play against a very mediocre Wake Forest offense.

I think both teams score quite a bit here.

Take the over. 

*Note this line has moved up some since I took this last week. I like this one as long as it is below 63. Thanks and good luck*
