The Saint Louis Billikens are among the best mid-major programs in the country with a top-50 Adjusted Offensive Efficiency, per KenPom. Davidson, their Friday night opponent, comes into this contest 3-5 in conference play.
The Billikens, who are 6-1 in conference play, are a great offensive team, but tend to focus on a 2-point offense, instead of being effective from the perimeter. Davidson does the same. Both have great defenses inside the arc, and neither stresses defensive turnovers.
Given how slowly Davidson plays, its 12-7 record on unders shows the market has not quite caught up to the Wildcats. This game should also go under the total.
Saint Louis may have a top-50 offense, but it does so by avoiding turnovers. The Billikens rank 50th in offensive turnover rate at only 16.6%. However, on defense, they struggle mightily to force the ball into transition, turning opponents over less than 15% of the time, which ranks 349th in the NCAA. With the ball often in half-court play, there are usually fewer possessions in the game.
