The Dartmouth Big Green will try to bounce back from a 69-64 loss to Incarnate Word last time out. Dusan Neskovic leads Dartmouth in scoring with 13.4 PPG along with 4.2 RPG while Ryan Cornish has 11.4 PPG and Cade Haskins has 10.6 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Dartmouth so far this season. Dame Adelekun has 8 PPG as well as team-highs of 7.6 RPG and 2.4 APG to lead the Big Green in rebounding and assists this season. As a team, Dartmouth is averaging 77.4 PPG on 46% shooting from the field, 37.5% from three and 63.8% from the foul line this season.
The UTSA Roadrunners will be out to bounce back from a 75-55 loss to Grambling State in their last game. Japhet Medor leads the Roadrunners in scoring and assists with 12.7 PPG and 4 APG along with 5.2 RPG while John Buggs III has 10.5 PPG and Jacob Germany has 10.3 PPG with a team-high 6.5 RPG to lead UTSA on the glass and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for UTSA so far this season. As a team, UTSA is averaging 65.5 PPG on 40.5% shooting from the field, 29.5% from three and 64.8% from the foul line this season.
Dartmouth is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. UTSA is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I think the stronger play is actually the over. Even in the losing efforts, Dartmouth is finding a way to put points up, it’s just been their defense that’s been a major concern. UTSA’s offense hasn’t been great, but this Dartmouth defense should provide a boost to the Roadrunners and as such, I’m backing the over here.
