West Virginia vs. Marist

Both teams can play defense and are on outstanding runs UNDER the total. The Mountaineers are on a 6-2 run UNDER the total, while Marist is on a 4-1 run UNDER. West Virginia (0-1) will want to get back to playing defense after getting bombed by Gonzaga. Bob Huggins is a coach who has always demanded great defense, so this is an excellent bounce back spot for the West Virginia D. And their offense wasn't in gear, as West Virginia shot only 21% in the first half, making 5 of 23 shots while committing 15 turnovers. The Mountaineers were only 1-of-13 from 3-point range. The UNDER is 6-2 in the Mountaineers last eight non-conference games. Marist is no offensive dynamo, shooting 40% as a team and scoring 57, 60 and 67 points in three games (61.3 points per game). Play the UNDER.
