#7 Austin Peay vs #2 North Alabama Best Bet

Welcome to the madness of the A-Sun Tournament. The insanity has already begun, with Austin Peay kicking things off by obliterating North Florida on Sunday night, 90-69. The Governors outscored the Ospreys 52-24 in the second half. Now, they take on the second-seeded North Alabama Lions as double-digit underdogs.

This will be the third meeting between these teams, with the Lions winning both previous matchups. Can the Governors finally break through in the A-Sun Tournament? After scoring 20 more points than their season average last night, I expect some regression from last night’s performance. I am taking their team total under 66.5.

North Alabama has the second-best defense in the conference, ranking top three in adjusted defensive efficiency, eFG%, three-point defense, and defensive block percentage. During conference play, the Lions are allowing 69 points per game and 70 on the road.

Austin Peay has struggled offensively in road-neutral games all season, ranking 320th in adjusted offensive efficiency, 309th in eFG%, 307th in rebounding, and 13th in offensive block percentage. On the road, they average 67.9 points per game.

This game should be played at a slower pace, as both teams rank in the mid-200s in tempo. Austin Peay excelled against one of the weaker defenses but now faces one of the best in the conference. Points should be hard to come by.

Give me the Governors’ team total under!
