The Northern Kentucky Norse and the IUPUI Jaguars meet in college basketball action from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
The Northern Kentucky Norse will look to build on their 74-70 OT win over UIC last time out. The Northern Kentucky Norse will look to bounce back from a 74-64 loss to Robert Morris last time out. Marques Warrick leads the Norse in scoring with 14.2 PPG while Trevon Faulkner has 12.1 PPG. Sam Vinson has 11.1 PPG with 4.4 RPG and a team-high 3.4 APG to lead the Norse in assists and round out the group of double-digit scorers for NKU this season while Adrian Nelson has a team-high 8.5 RPG to lead the Norse on the glass this season. As a team, Northern Kentucky is averaging 69.4 PPG on 40% shooting from the field, 33% from three and 65.7% from the foul line while allowing 69.3 PPG on 44.7% shooting from the field and 31% from three this season.
The IUPUI Jaguars will look to rebound from a 73-45 loss to Wright State last time out. B.J. Maxwell leads the Jaguars in scoring and rebounding with 10.9 PPG and 4.4 RPG as the lone double-digit scorer for IUPUI this season while Mike DePersia has a team-high 2.4 APG to lead IUPUI in assists. As a team, IUPUI is averaging 50.9 PPG on 37.4% shooting from the field, 27.4% from three and 66.7% from the foul line while allowing 68 PPG on 44.7% shooting from the field and 35.6% from three this season.
Northern Kentucky is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games against a team with a home winning percentage below .400 while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win. IUPUI is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a double-digit home loss.
This is a low total, but the Jaguars are one of the, if not the worst offensive team in the country and while NKU is the better team, I’m not trusting them to do a whole lot of scoring here either. Give me the under here.
