Here’s the skinny of it, neither one of these teams can score. I love going under on anything in the 130’s for one huge reason, the Mount’s defense. Texas Southern has one of the least efficient offenses in the game, right next to their upcoming opponent. The key difference is MSM is ranked 136th by KenPom in defensive efficiency.
This game isn’t going to feature a consistent level of offense because at least one of the two teams is pretty good at defense. We usually get stuck watching two teams struggle their way to 35-40 total first half points. It’s a First Round (both versions) special. Both of these teams are so bad on offense that playing in a bubble in a nerve-racking playoff game isn’t going to all of a sudden open up the floodgates. You do know that, right? Go under. (As a Gettysburg College grad, let’s go Mountaineers!)
