Mississippi Valley State vs Southern College Basketball Betting Preview
I project this total at around 142.3, so I show a bit of value on the Over, but I'd need the number to be steamed down more before I make a play.
Southern is a quick-paced team that should be able to control the tempo against the 1-19 Delta Devils.
It’s also worth mentioning that these are two of the worst transition defenses in the nation, and Southern’s ability to force turnovers (23%, first in the SWAC) should lead to plenty of easy run-out buckets against Mississippi Valley State’s shaky ball-handling backcourt.
My Pick: Over 139 or Better
