ASA top play on 10* UNDER 135 Niagara vs. St Peters, 8 PM ET

Clearly this is a low number, but our predictive model has these two teams combining for just 129 total points. Last year in the two meetings these two teams put up 117 and 111 total points and the totals set on those two games were 130.5 and 133. St Peters is 230th in offensive efficiency this year at .967 points per possession and 265th in tempo. The Peacocks have been solid defensively allowing .977PPP this season which is near their season average a year ago which ranked them 80th in college hoops. They were also horrible offensively a year ago (300th) averaging .954PPP. St Peters had an effective field goal percentage of 46% which was one of the worst numbers in college hoops. This season St Peters played La Salle, who is similar to Niagara, and they combined for 113 total points. Niagara only has one game under their belt, and it was against Syracuse so we don’t have a great baseline this season on what to expect from the Purple Eagles. What we do know is this, Niagara was very deliberate last season ranking 289th in tempo and 289th in average possession length. They were one of the worst 2PT% shooting teams in the entire country. The Purple Eagles scored less than 70-points in six of their last thirteen games a year ago.
