Joe French led the Wildcats with 14 points on 5 of 11 shooting with 4 threes while Dylan Robertson, Marcus Garrett and Collins Joseph each had 10 points to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for the Wildcats in the losing effort with Joseph also chipping in a team-high 6 assists.

Bethune-Cookman is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog while the under is 11-0 in their last 11 games overall. Middle Tennessee is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win.
I’m not trying to back either of these teams as I have no idea what we will get from BC and Middle Tennessee has been brutal as a favorite. I will side with the under though, as Middle Tennessee isn’t blowing anyone away offensively and the under’s hit in 11 straight for the Wildcats.
