#887/888 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 138 Points – Coastal Carolina vs South Alabama, Monday at 8 PM ET - Two teams from the Sun Belt Conference meeting in the Basketball Classic semi-finals here. These 2 teams know each other well and we like this one to turn into a low scoring grinder. Both defenses are very solid allowing just 0.97 PPP in conference play and ranking #1 and #2 in the Sun Belt in eFG% defense. These 2 defenses also rank #1 and #2 in the league in 3 point FG% defense both allowing less than 30% from deep. On top of that, both defenses make the opposing offense really work for decent shots which leads to long offensive possessions. CC ranks 313th in length of opponent’s possession at 18.2 seconds on average and USA ranks 327th in that same category. These 2 met once this year and the total was set at 135 points. The final score was South Alabama 71, Coastal Carolina 68. It was a low possession game with only 103 shots attempted which wasn’t a surprise as both teams ranking outside the top 220 in offensive possessions per game. They combined to make 17 of 48 three point attempts (35%) and we don’t expect a repeat as both teams allow less than 30% as we mentioned above. They also combined to make 34 FT’s and we expect those numbers to come down here as well with both teams ranking outside the top 125 in FT attempt rate. Neither team reaches 70 in this game and we’re on the UNDER.
