Here are some thoughts on the December 16 card (odds from DraftKings):
Southern Jaguars at Youngstown State Penguins (-8, 152.5)
We should have a really fast-paced game at the Beeghly Center between Southern and Youngstown State. These are two top-70 teams in tempo according to Ken Pomeroy and this game shouldn’t lower their respective rankings. Southern plays in the SWAC, a conference where taking care of the basketball isn’t exactly a priority. As a result, the Jaguars play a high-pressure style of defense and foul a lot. Xavier was into the bonus before the Under-16 timeout in the second half of Tuesday’s game.
