T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina/South Alabama UNDER.

I am on the under in the Coastal Carolina vs South Alabama game on Monday. Coastal Carolina has looked good on the defensive end in their games lately and I think they are going to keep this a low scoring game. They haven't scored 70+ points in 3/4 of their previous 4 games but their defensive effort has been great in these games. They have held opposing teams to less than 70 points in 5/6 of their previous 6 games and I think they are going to continue with their great defensive effort in this game. South Alabama has played in some higher scoring games lately but for most of the year they were a low scoring team that looked good on the defensive end too. Their final 3 games to end the regular season were all low scoring games where neither team reached 70 points and only 1 team in any of those games put up 65+ points. These 2 teams also play in the same conference so they are familiar with each other and they did play each other 1 time earlier this year. South Alabama won that game 71-68 and that was a road game for them. South Alabama is home here and I think they will dominate the game on their home floor a bit more than they did in that game and I think they are going to shut down Coastal Carolina's offense more on their home court here. I expect both teams to play a more defensive style in this game so I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 66-61 South Alabama.
