The UC-San Diego Tritons and the Eastern Michigan Eagles meet in college basketball action from the George Gervin GameAbove Center on Sunday afternoon.
The UC-San Diego Tritons will be out to build on their 75-70 win over George Washington last time out. Bryce Pope leads the Tritons in scoring with 19.2 PPG while Emmanuel Tshimanga has 10 PPG with 5.4 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for UC-San Diego up to this point in the season. Francis Nwaokorie has a team-high 6 RPG to lead the Tritons on the glass while Roddie Anderson III has a team-high 3.5 APG to lead the Tritons in assists. As a team, UC-San Diego is averaging 64.7 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field, 30.4% from three and 68.9% from the foul line this season.
The Eastern Michigan Eagles will hope to bounce back from a 101-87 loss to Winthrop last time out. Emoni Bates leads the Eagles in scoring with 20 PPG along with 5 RPG while Noah Farrakhan has 13 PPG with 4.3 RPG and a team-high 3 APG to lead the Eagles in assists. Tyson Acuff has 12 PPG with 3.5 RPG and 2.5 APG to finish off the trio of double-digit scorers for Eastern Michigan up to this point in the season. As a team, Eastern Michigan is averaging 77.2 PPG on 45.5% shooting from the field, 35.9% from three and 75.3% from the foul line this season.
UC-San Diego is 4-12 ATS in their last 16 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 road games. Eastern Michigan is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m looking at the over here. Eastern Michigan has been terrible defensively this season, so much so that I think even UC-San Diego can get their share of points in this game. On the other side, the Eagles still have a solid offense and I think they’ll be able to put up their share of points against UCSD here. Give me the over.
