san jose at N Dakota st
Both teams average 68 pts a game, san jose is giving up 65.4 and ND st is giving up 77.7 a game, another thing that is important i think is 3 point shooting, SJ is shooting at 35.7% and ND st is shooting at 37.2% but ND st is giving up the 3 at 40.9%, while SJ is giving up the 3 at just 28%, and SJ is making on average 8.8 a game and ND st is making 7, SJ is taking 24 3's a game to 18 for ND st, if San Jose can shoot their 35% and with ND st giving up 41% you would think they could, because if SJ holds ND st to about 30% that could be huge in this matchup, you do have a revenge thing, as ND st just lost at SJ by 13 78-65, and in that game SJ held ND st to 39% shooting 22/56, and from 3 they held them to 26% 5/19 so ND st took their normal amount of 3's as they average just over 18 a game, and SJ shot 47.3% 26/55 and shot 45.8% from 3 11/24, and both took almost exact the same amount of ft's as SJ was 15/20 and ND was 16/22 turnovers were the same just 8 and 9 rebounds were 36-34 for SJ but assist were 14 to just 8 for ND st i always pay attention to assist ...one other odd thing is San Jose has played 2 other games since playing ND st, but this is ND states 1st game since that loss, so to them they are playing SJ back to back...lol so diff ways to look at this tonight, ND st revenge for just losing to them, or SJ coming in knowing they can beat this team, and knows what they did in the 1st game, it wasn't because of ft's or turnovers, it was just shooting , can they shoot better tonight and can they keep SJ st from shooting as well as they did in the last meeting? .....also when they met at San Jose SJ was a 7.5 pt favorite the total was 133.5 tonight ND st is -3 i do see 2.5 at some books i play, i use 4 books, i hate florida's Hard ROck everything has a half pt , San Jose st was on a nice little 3 game winning streak after they beat ND st, then lost to cal poly 77-81, then got beat up at Montana , but if ya like the revenge angle for ND st there is another going their way, Common Opponent, both teams played at Montana SJ lost big, and ND st won outright
just putting this out there make your pick
