The Milwaukee Panthers and the IUPUI Jaguars meet in college basketball action from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Thursday night.

The Milwaukee Panthers will look to rebound from back-to-back losses after an 81-71 loss to IPFW last time out. DeAndre Gholston leads the Panthers in scoring with 14.1 PPG along with 4.3 RPG while Patrick Baldwin Jr. has 12.1 PPG and 5.8 RPG in 11 games so far this season. Josh Thomas has 9.3 PPG while Donovan Newby has 8.4 PPG as well for the Panthers on the year. Joey St. Pierre leads the Panthers on the glass with 5.4 RPG while Jordan Lathon has a team-high 2.8 APG to lead the Panthers in the assist department as well this season. As a team, Milwaukee is averaging 64.8 PPG on 42% shooting from the field, 31% from three and 72.1% from the foul line while allowing 71 PPG on 40.4% shooting from the field and 33.5% from three this season.

The IUPUI Jaguars will try to bounce back from a 74-61 loss to Youngstown State last time out. B.J. Maxwell leads the Jaguars in scoring and rebounding with 12.6 PPG and 5 RPG as the lone double-digit scorer for IUPUI this season as well as leading the Jaguars on the glass and Mike DePersia has a team-high 3.1 APG this season. As a team, IUPUI is averaging 52.6PPG on 38.1% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 66.1% from the foul line while allowing 67.1 PPG on 43.8% shooting from the field and 35.5% from three this season.

Milwaukee is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a loss while the over is 9-2 in their last 11 games against a team with a losing record. IUPUI is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 20-9 in their last 29 games following a loss.

I can understand the points to be made either way here, as I don’t trust Milwaukee as a favorite, and I’m not getting enough points with IUPUI. Instead, I’m siding with the over here. This is a low total given the reputation that IUPUI’s had for being a horrendous offensive team while Milwaukee isn’t much better. I think the total is just too low, even for these teams, so I’ll back the over in this one.
