#723/724 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 134 Points – IPFW vs Missouri State, Saturday at 8 PM ET - Two bad offensive teams going at it here. They are both ranked outside the top 200 in adjusted offensive efficiency, eFG%, 2 point FG% and 3 point FG%. They are both much better defensively allowing less than 1.00 points per possession on the season ranking them 101st and 115th in adjusted defensive efficiency. IPFW has had a few higher scoring games this season, however those have been vs poor defensive teams that like to play at a fast tempo. In this game, IPFW will be facing a Missouri State team that wants to play slow (321st in tempo) so we expect the host Bears to control the tempo here. When facing teams similar the Mizzou State (slow tempo & solid defensive teams) IPFW has totaled 115 points (vs Northwestern) and 128 points (vs Southern Miss). The only game that Missouri State has played this year that topped 131 total points was vs Detroit which is a fast paced team and the Titans rank 358th in adjusted defensive efficiency and that game only got to 140 total points. In their other 7 games, the Bears are averaging 120 total points. Neither team is adept at offensive rebounding so we don’t look for many 2nd opportunities and both get to the foul line infrequently. This has all the makings of a low scoring grinder and we’ll be on the Under.
