The Niagara Purple Eagles own the nations top scoring player in Antoine Mason at 31.4 points per game. The problem is they have nothing else. Mason is averaging 28 shots a game to get his 31 points, and is hitting just 25% from beyond the arc. Consequently, Niagara is just 1-6 on the season. Arkansas State is 4-2, but the two losses were the result of playing up, as they fell to Wyoming and Colorado. The Red Wolves top two scorers connecting on nearly 60% each, will doom the fate of Niagara here, and their one man show. The problem this presents is when you have one player that takes about half the team's shots, and produces just a point per shot, it will be hard to score a lot of points vs. a better team. Arkansas State has held three of the four lesser opponents on their schedule to 62 points or less. Arkansas State went for 90+ in their last game, fueling the total here, but that is not their norm as they are 6-0 to the UNDER in their next game after doing so. Play this one UNDER the total.
