Arkansas State have shot well in this tournament but they did have some scoring droughts. They can't do that with High Point who have a high powered offense and like to run up the score. They are the better team in this match on both sides of the ball. The Red Wolves might give the Panthers a scare early on in the game, but expect the Panthers to pull ahead as the game goes along. The Panthers are are better in their field goal percentage overall and are the much better team at the charity stripe shooting 77.88%. They are also the better offensive rebounding team, and on defense, it has the better defense as they don't allow too many second chances in the paint. Take the stronger team.

Highpoint are 6-2 ATS this season when the line is +3 to -3. The Panthers are 4-0 ATS on a neutral court. The Panthers are 11-2 ATS this season versus non conference games. The Red Wolves are 4-3 ATS in all tournament games.

Best bet: lay the points with High Point.
