Utah State vs Missouri on 03/16 by Mike_Jones

On the surface, this game looks like an easy "over," because it features two teams that love to shoot a lot of threes and are often good at making them. But the high total places a tremendous onus on both teams to be highly efficient from behind the arc. The main reason why they won't be highly efficient is Utah State's perimeter defense. Utah State excels at limiting opposing three-point attempts. Instead, the Aggies are vulnerable to cuts, post-ups, and other inside actions. Missouri has players like Kobe Brown who can score inside -- so inside is where Missouri's offense will focus its scoring on. This focus entails a slower pace of play because feeding the post often takes time.
