Over on the Skyhawks’ side, they got an unenviable matchup in their opener against Tennessee. TN-Martin wasn’t able to hang around for long in a 90-62 loss. The Skyhawks got their first win over Miami-Hamilton in the next game, taking it 94-66. 

In their last outing versus FAU, TN-Martin was within three points at halftime but could only post 27 more points from there in a 75-67 loss. KJ Simon led the way on 19 points with four rebounds and two assists. 

TN-Martin is 21-43 ATS in their last 64 as an underdog and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as a favorite. The under is 5-2 in the Skyhawks’ last seven Saturday games. 

Meanwhile Troy is 7-16 ATS in their last 23 Saturday games and 20-43 ATS in their last 63 as a favorite. The over is 4-1 in Troy’s last five overall

PICK: I’m going to try Troy. The Trojans didn’t play too badly against North Dakota, shooting 44.4 percent from the field with 33 rebounds. Troy allowed 45.5 percent (10-of-22) from behind the 3-point arc however, which was the major difference in the loss. 

As for TN-Martin, they looked pretty solid in the first half versus FAU but stalled late. I like the Skyhawks to have another good first half in this one with Troy covering in the latter part of the game.
