*3 Star Play Under* The Navy Midshipmen are the best team in this league. Navy is also the slowest paced team in the league. They are easily first in the Patriot League in defensive efficiency, giving up only 0.967 points per possession.

Navy has put up some big point totals at home from time to time, but on the road their offense has been far less efficient. Their last four road games have finished regulation with the following point totals: 123, 116, 134, and 108 points.

Lafayette is last in the league in offensive efficiency. It's hard to find a path to success for the Lafayette offense here. They'll have to be making jump shots they normally miss, and they'll be doing it against the best defense in the league. They could only get to 50 points in the first meeting between these two teams.

Take the under here.

*4 Star Play Under* The Appalachian State Mountaineers defense is the best in the Sun Belt. They are only allowing 0.97 points per possession this year. App State's defense is in top form of late. They have allowed 58, 43,63, and 44 points in their last four games.

App State is 360th in the nation in tempo. They will work very hard to slow this game down. South Alabama is 323rd in tempo, so they prefer a slow game as well.

South Alabama packs in a zone defense and forces teams to shoot the ball from the outside. The Jaguars are second in the Sun Belt in defensive efficiency behind only App State. The Jaguars will try to force App State to make 3 pointers here. App State is shooting only 31.9% from 3 point range on the season.

This projects as a slow paced game where it would take above average shooting for it to go over the total. Neither team fouls very much and that is a nice bonus.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under* The New Haven Chargers are 359th in the nation in tempo. They will do their best to slow the pace down as much as possible. New Haven is 350th in the nation (out of 365 teams) in offensive efficiency. This team is a solid under team in general.

LIU has the best record in the NEC thus far this season. They are second in the conference in defensive efficiency. They are allowing only 0.97 points per possession. Their offense is 207th nationally so they are only mediocre. LIU is very good on the offensive glass, but New Haven has been strong on the defensive boards.

Take the under here.

*3 Star Play Under* The Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles are really bad on offense. Southern Indiana is 361st out of 365 teams in the country in offensive efficiency. Southern Indiana has been held to 51, 60, and 46 points in three of their last four games. They take a lot of 3 point jumpers, and they aren't good from long range. UT Martin is also 7th best in the nation at defending the 3 point jumper. They are allowing the opposition to shoot only 28.6% from long range.

UT Martin is 320th in the nation in tempo. The Skyhawks are easily first in the OVC in defensive efficiency. They are allowing only 0.931 points per possession in league play.

Southern Indiana has played considerably slower in recent weeks. They are also third best in the league in defensive efficiency.
