The FAU Owls and the High Point Panthers meet in college hoops action from Nido and Mariana Qubein Arena on Tuesday night.
The FAU Owls will look to build on a 78-55 win over Florida Tech in their last game. Michael Forrest leads FAU in scoring with 15.3 PPG along with 3.5 RPG and 3 APG while Alijah Martin has 12.8 PPG with 4.9 RPG and Bryan Greenlee has 10.3 PPG with a team-high 3.9 APG to lead the Owls in assists to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for FAU so far this season. Vladislav Golden has a team-high 5.8 RPG as well this season for the Owls. As a team, FAU is averaging 76.6 PPG on 46% shooting from the field, 35.3% from three and 65.2% from the foul line while allowing 68.3 PPG on 45.2% shooting from the field and 37.7% from three this season.
The High Point Panthers will try to bounce back from a 71-69 OT loss to UNC-Wilmington last time out. John-Michael Wright leads the Panthers in scoring and assists with 21.9 PPG and 4.3 APG along with 5 RPG while Zack Austin has 14.1 PPG with a team-high 7.3 RPG to lead the Panthers on the glass. Jaden House has 11 PPG with 4.4 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for High Point so far this season. As a team, High Point is averaging 73.6 PPG on 43.6% shooting from the field, 36.1% from three and 61.9% from the foul line while allowing 69.9 PPG on 40.8% shooting from the field and 30.5% from three this season.
FAU is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record and 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games following a win by 20 or more points while the over is 10-3 in their last 13 road games. High Point is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 Tuesday games.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’m looking at the over in this one. This feels like a low total between two teams that have pretty much been on the same wavelength lately and I could easily see both teams getting into the 70s in this one. Give me the over.
