Southern Utah Thunderbirds vs Rice Owls. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Southern Utah Thunderbirds. Four of the Thunderbirds’ previous five games ended in victories.

 

Their recent three games saw them average 75 points per game on offense as they play well. By making more than 71% of their free throws away from home, they took advantage of their chances at the charity stripe.

 

You shouldn’t expect them to provide the Owls with a lot of chances for easy goals because they did a fantastic job of preserving the ball in their last three games, turning it over fewer than 10 times each game.

 

The Owls won’t have an easy job slowing down the Thunderbirds in this game because their defense isn’t particularly strong and they performed worse recently, giving up more than 80 points per game in their last 3 matches.

 

Five of the Owls’ last seven games ended in losses. Although the Thunderbirds’ defense isn’t terrific, they improved recently, holding their previous three opponents to an average of fewer than 75 points per contest, and they won’t have any issue containing Rice’s offense.

 

To cover the spread, pick Southern Utah. The Southern Utah Thunderbirds will win to a predicted score of 85-77.
