Total: 131.00 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
#611/612 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 131 Points – Mississippi State @ Tennessee, Tuesday at 7 PM ET - Two of the slowest paced teams who are both struggling on offense calls for the UNDER here. Mississippi State ranks 312th in pace of play and the Volunteers come in at 306th in that category (out of 357 teams). Tennessee has been missing key offensive player (Springer) the last 2 games and they’ve scored 68 or less in 3 of their last 4 games. Starting PG Vescovi is also banged up with a bad hip but he’s been playing and scored just 10 total points the last 2 games (was averaging 10 PPG prior to last 2 games). The Vols now rank 10th in the SEC (conference play) in both offensive efficiency and eFG%. The Mississippi State offense has average 1.00 PPP or less in 5 of their last 7 games and now they face a defense that ranks 3rd nationally in efficiency allowing just 0.88 PPP. We expect both Tennessee & MSU to be held under 1.00 PPP which will make it very tough at a slow pace to reach this total. Both teams defenses rank above the offenses in conference efficiency which we like to look for when considering Unders. One thing that can kill under bets is if both teams end up getting to the FT line a lot. That shouldn’t be the case here as both defenses foul infrequently giving up just 15% and 17% of their opponents points at the line. So there shouldn’t be a ton of FT’s in this game and when they do get there neither team is great at the line with MSU shooting 63% and UT hitting 71%. We expect this one to be a grind it out, physical SEC match up. Under is the call.
