#809/810 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 137.5 Points – Detroit vs Northern Kentucky, Thursday at 7 PM ET - These 2 met twice this season so we have a pretty solid baseline. The first game they totaled 142 points which isn’t much above this posted number despite both offenses playing way above their averages. Detroit put up 1.28 PPP in that game (season average is 1.06) and Northern KY averaged 1.17 PPP (season average is 1.05). They combined to make over 51% of their shot attempts and 42% of their 3 points shots, both well above their season averages. They only combined to take 98 shots which isn’t a surprise as both teams rank below 300th nationally in tempo. In their 2nd and most recent meeting on February 18th they only tallied 112 total points. Each team shot 39% which actually not that far off their season averages of 43%. They attempted just 105 total shots in another slow paced game. Another thing to make note of is neither team gets to the FT line very often (332nd and 297th in % of points scored from the line) and that was evident in the 2 meetings as they averaged just 22 FT attempts combined per game. That obviously limits scoring as well. We’ll see limited possessions again in this one and unless they shoot lights out, this should stay UNDER the total. We have this game projected in the low 130’s.
