The Denver Pioneers and the Texas State Bobcats meet in college basketball action from Strahan Coliseum on Sunday.
The Denver Pioneers will be out to bounce back fro a 77-64 loss to Wyoming in their last game. KJ Hunt leads Denver in scoring and assists with 16.4 PPG and 3.6 APG while Michael Henn has 11.4 PPG with 3.9 RPG and Jordan Johnson has 11 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Denver up to this points in the season. As a team, Denver is averaging 67.1 PPG on 44.8% shooting from the field, 35% from three and 67.3% from the foul line while allowing 68 PPG on 44% shooting from the field and 29.3% from three this season.
The Texas State Bobcats will try to add to an 80-69 win over Rice in their last game. Caleb Asberry leads Texas State in scoring and assists with 16.1 PPG and 2.1 APG while Mason Harrell has 12.4 PPG and Isiah Small has 10.5 PPG and 7.3 RPG to leads the Bobcats on the glass and to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Texas State as the Bobcat’s top rebounder. As a team, Texas State is averaging 76 PPG on 48.8% shooting from the field, 35.6% from three and 77.3% from the foul line while allowing 67.9 PPG on 43.4% shooting from the field and 37.8% from three this season.
Denver is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning home record. Texas State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win and 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall.
I could try making a case for the Bobcats laying the points at here, but the Bobcats have not have a lined game at home so far this season, so it’ll be interesting to see how the Bobcats fare against a team with a pulse. WWith that said, I’m still leaning towards Denver and the points as Denver has had a lot of success getting a fair amount of points this season and I just don’t see Texas State as a favorite of this level just yet. If forced to pick, give me Denver and the load of points here.
