The UT-Marin Skyhawks and the SIU-Edwardsville Cougars meet in college basketball action from the Vadalabene Center on Thursday night.

The UT-Martin Skyhawks will look to bounce back from a 69-61 loss at the hands of Tennessee State last time out. KJ Simon leads the Skyhawks in scoring with 16.7 PPG along with 5 RPG while KK Curry has 10.6 PPG with 5.4 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for UT-Martin so far this season. Bernie Andre has 9.1 PPG with a team-high 6.3 RPG to lead UT-Martin on the glass and Koby Jeffries has also dished out a team-high 3 APG as well this season. As a team, UT-Martin is averaging 69.6 PPG on 41.7% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 71.1% from the foul line while allowing 73.3 PPG on 43.3% shooting from the field and 33% from three this season.

The SIU-Edwardsville Cougars will hope to bounce back from a 75-47 win over Southeast Missouri State last time out. Ray’Sean Taylor leads the Cougars in scoring with 17.8 PPG along with 4.9 RPG but will miss the rest of the season due to injury. Shaun Doss Jr. has 11.9 PPG with 5.3 RPG and DeeJuan Pruitt has 10.5 PPG with a team-high 6.7 RPG to lead the Cougars on the glass and to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for SIUE so far this season. Shamar Wright has 9 PPG with 4.5 RPG and Courtney Carter has 6.7 PPG with 4.6 RPG and a team-high 3.2 APG as well to lead the Cougars in the assist department. As a team, SIU-Edwardsville is averaging 68 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field, 27.8% from three and 67.8% from the foul line while allowing 70.6 PPG on 41.4% shooting from the field and 31.5% from three this season.

UT-Martin is 10-22 ATS in their last 32 road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the under is 6-0-1 in their last 7 games overall. SIU-Edwardsville is 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 8-2 in their last 10 home games.

This isn’t a game I’m rushing to the window to put my money on if I’m being honest, but if forced to pick, I’d lean towards the under. SIUE is struggling since their top scorer Ray’Sean Taylor went out of the lineup due to injury and UT-Martin hasn’t had a top guy out of the lineup to justify their struggles. How a total is set this high is beyond me. Give me the under here.
