Stephen F. Austin vs Houston Christian Prediction

I’m on the under here. To me, this just sets up as a battle between two low-scoring units, as Stephen F. Austin has some of the worst shooting numbers in the country, which bodes well for Houston Christian, but the Lumberjacks also have some of the best defensive metrics in the country as well this season. All in all, I’m expecting a slow, grind-it-out style of affair that is a first-to-60-wins kind of game. Give me the under in this one.
