#691/692 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 134 Points – IUPUI vs Denver, Wednesday at 5 PM ET - One terrible offense and one not so great offense should lead to a low scoring game here. IUPUI is averaging just 51 PPG on the season (dead last in the nation) and their 4 games so far on the year have averaged 121 total points. It’s not as if they’ve been playing a slate of great defenses, this team just can’t shoot ranking 363rd in 3 point percentage (19%) and 359th in overall FG% (out of 363 teams). Their high scoring effort was 59 points vs Franklin College and their top effort vs a D1 school was 58 vs Chicago State who ranks dead last in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency. Denver is better on the offensive end but it’s not like this is a good shooting team either. The Pioneers are decent offensively inside the arc, however from 3-point land they rank 360th hitting just 22% of their shots. Thus, in this game we have 2 of the 4 worst three point shooting teams in the nation which will make it really tough to get to this number. As you would expect, neither attempts many 3’s ranking 358th and 362nd in percentage of points scored from deep. Neither team shoots FT’s very well (60% and 66%) and they aren’t adept at offensive rebounding so we don’t see many second chance points. With Denver favored by 11 in this game the projected final score is right around 73-62. As we stated, IUPUI hasn’t gotten to 60 points yet this season and if we subtract Denver’s game vs Colorado College, they are averaging 69 PPG. Under is the call here.
