ASA play on 8* UNDER 137.5 Northern Kentucky at Dayton, 7 PM ET - It’s early and we have a very small sample size, but the average total points scored in a college game right now is 145 points. This total is set a few made baskets less than an average game but the only way these two teams get there is if they have an unusually high shooting percentage. Dayton has played two games this season and totaled 129 and 130 total points against Eastern Illinois and SMU. SMU ranks 193rd in pace of play while Eastern is slower yet at 293 in tempo. Now the Flyers face a Northern Kentucky team that is 280th in tempo this year and were 304th last season. NKU was also particularly good defensively a year ago allowing less than 1.000 point per possession. The Norse have three games under their belt this season with totals of 147, 139 and 151 but we are most concerned about the 139 game against Tennessee Tech who is like Dayton in terms of tempo. The Flyers are 309th in pace this season and ranked 220th last year. Dayton also had the 38th best defensive efficiency rating in college hoops a year ago. NKU is on a 12-4 Under streak their last sixteen road games while Dayton is on a 4-0 Under run themselves.
