We will likely go back to the olden days where no one crashes the offensive glass except Toure. No one likes slow, ugly games more than Murphy, and that’s what we should turn this into. Make them take as many threes as possible. They’re only shooting 31% from 3 on the year.

I’m looking for our bigger guards (Barnes, Montero) to take advantage of having a 5’2 guy guarding them. It would be wise to play those two together if we can. Montero had a good game against North Texas, but Barnes needs to bounce back. Looking for our 3-ball to wake up from Morgan and James as well.

Should be a good early test!

Bettors except a low scoring game:

Line: UMBC -1.0
O/U: 120

We are now favored by 1, according to ESPN, and the O/U moved to 116.

I can see why the O/U went down. Nicholls and N.C. A & T aren't exactly lightning it up.

2:17 tip off.

Nicholls (a team that lost to Illinois by 8, LSU by 10, URI by 5 and beat Pittsburgh) lost to NC A&T by 12!

Cant look past anyone here!
