Here we go with another contrarian Over pick featuring two teams who were made to go Under. Cal Baptist (Under 11-5) are slow as molasses, and much better at defense than offense; Utah Valley (Over 9-5) should bail us out here with their medium pace and their uncanny ability to get to the free-throw line.
The Lancers do give us the proverbial puncher’s chance, though. They rank No. 36 in the nation in 3-point attempts at 25.9 per game, even if they’re only shooting 32.0% (No. 271) from downtown. Maybe their Australian-heavy lineup will regress to the mean after hitting 33.3% of their threes (No. 210) last year.
