Troy at Appalachian State

Troy has won four of the last five meetings, including 89-85 on Jan. 5 when the Trojans shot 55.2 percent and hit 11-of-24 three-pointers while holding the Mountaineers to a .405 field goal percentage. Both teams have struggled recently and Appalachian State has lost five of its last seven games although it does come off a 90-80 win at Louisiana Lafayette on Sunday. Both have similar offensive statistics and Troy has the slight edge on defense. Appalachian State is 5-21 ATS its last 26 games after an ATS win and it's 2-6 ATS its last eight following any win. Also, the Mountaineers have covered only two of its last seven against teams with losing records. Look for the Trojans to keep this one close, so take the points with Troy.
