The over, 11-3 in Bradley's games this season, is my prediction for the total in Wednesday's game vs. Evansville.
The Purple Aces rank 76th nationally in tempo, which suggests this could be a higher-scoring game. The visitors don't struggle to score around the rim and are patient enough to find good looks in the half-court. I'm comfortable betting on them to outperform expectations vs. Bradley's stout defense, as the Braves are foul-prone and weaker in the paint than around the perimeter.
Bradley's three-point shooting will come into play, too. Braves sharpshooter Connor Hickman (14.8 PPG) shoots 44.1 percent from deep, and Christian Davis (35.4 3PT%) and Almar Atlason (44.9 3PT%) can make it rain, as well. They will stretch the Purple Aces' defense outside the paint, where they are tougher to score on.
