The first of Wednesday’s First Four games in Dayton features No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson (Over 17-11-1) taking on No. 16 Texas Southern (Under 15-14) in a rare instance where I prefer the over for this college basketball pick.
The Knights are the reason why; Ken Pomeroy’s numbers have them at No. 155 on offense and No. 361 on defense, and a somewhat crisp 68.8 possessions per game (No. 110).
The Tigers are a different animal. They rank No. 330 on offense and No. 196 on defense, but they’re also faster than FDU at 69.3 possessions per game (No. 76), so that makes up in part for their lack of scoring punch.
