Louisiana-Monroe vs. James Madison (Under 144.5)
(NCAAB) Louisiana-Monroe vs. James Madison,
Total: 144.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
Betting Trends: The under is 4-1 in ULM's last five games and 7-1 in JMU's last eight games (5-0 last five).

The best bet in this game is on the total, as the Dukes aren't guaranteed to bounce back on the offensive end, and the Warhawks are one of the least efficient offenses (338th) in the nation. This matchup also features contrasting styles, as the visitors are slow-tempo, averaging roughly five fewer possessions per 40 minutes than the home team.

The Dukes aren't shy about their shot selection, but they may be better off attempting fewer threes. Despite shooting just 33.9 percent from long range, they attempt 37.5 percent of their shots from downtown (24.8 per game). Coming off a 3-for-17 shooting performance from beyond the arc, they may still be off the mark on Thursday night. If those shots aren't falling, the Warhawks will be glad to collect the long rebounds and slow down the pace to their liking.
