Freddy Hicks is averaging 15.5 points and 2.4 assists, while Lue Williams is averaging 10.7 points and 3.1 rebounds. Jakorie Smith is grabbing 3.9 rebounds and Shamir Bogues is dishing 1.9 assists.

The Tarleton Texans are allowing 35.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 27 rebounds per game.

The Radford Highlanders are averaging 69.4 points on 45.9 percent shooting and allowing 64.5 points on 44.8 percent shooting. DaQuan Smith is averaging 13.8 points and 3.2 rebounds, while Bryan Antonie is averaging 11.1 points and 2.9 rebounds. Josiah Jeffers is grabbing 2.3 rebounds and Kenyon Giles is dishing 1.1 assists.

The Highlanders are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Texans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Highlanders last 5 overall. The under is 5-1 in Texans last 6 overall.

Not the easiest game to predict when you consider neither of these teams have played in two weeks, so you have no idea what to expect in terms of form. With that said, Tarleton State ended the year playing some of its best ball, which includes winning its last 5 games by an average of 10.2 points while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. Tarleton State will also have the best player on the floor and has the better defense. Give me the Texans in this toss up game.
