SIU Edwardsville vs. Belmont

Ohio Valley Tournament - First Round - Ford Center - Evansville, IN

Belmont is certainly the class of the Ohio Valley but the Bruins, who were 24-1, finished the regular season with two losses. They went from a team that shot over 50% in seven straight games to one that failed to shoot 40% in each of its last two. Now they play on a neutral court where the shooting background sometimes takes an adjustment. SIU Edwardsville has averaged fewer than 60 points in their last seven games. They have considerably slowed the pace over their last six games as they average just 50 shots per game. There is no shortage of factors here that show this game staying shy of the total. Make the play on the UNDER.
