Here is what stands out on today’s board.

Can South Florida Keep the Pace High?

Kennesaw State vs South Florida

After a tough football loss, Tampa fans could use a lift, and the Bulls have been delivering early in the basketball season. With new head coach Brian Hodgson bringing over talent and tempo from Arkansas State, South Florida pushes the ball well and scores efficiently.

The issue is whether the opponent can match them. Kennesaw State has not shown enough scoring punch to keep this total afloat.

Betting Pick: Under 177.5

Prediction: South Florida 82, Kennesaw State 74

Wake Forest Looks Too Strong for UMass Lowell

UMass Lowell vs Wake Forest

UMass Lowell has opened the season as one of the worst scoring teams in the nation. Wake Forest should win comfortably, but the safer angle sits on the total. The Demon Deacons control the game and the River Hawks continue to struggle offensively.

Betting Pick: Under 164.5

Prediction: Wake Forest 90, UMass Lowell 58

Indiana’s Offense Meets One of the Nation’s Weakest Defenses

Incarnate Word vs Indiana

Incarnate Word has yet to find a way to stop anyone. Indiana has been the opposite, scoring nearly 100 points per game behind a fluid and confident offense. With that combination, the total becomes the natural target.

Betting Pick: Over 152.5

Prediction: Indiana 100, Incarnate Word 58

Can Mount St. Mary’s Hang Around Against Cincinnati?

Mount St. Mary’s vs Cincinnati

Cincinnati looks different this season without Jalen Haynes and with Jizzle James no longer in the program. Scoring has been a problem, and that opens the door for Mount St. Mary’s to compete longer than expected. The Bearcats should win, but the number feels inflated.

Betting Pick: Mount St. Mary’s +26.5

Prediction: Cincinnati 78, Mount St. Mary’s 68

Akron’s Tempo Could Keep Things Tight Early at Purdue

Akron vs Purdue

Akron wants to push the pace and has enough talent to keep this interesting for a stretch. Purdue has played to the level of its opponent so far, and while the Boilermakers should take control in the second half, Akron has enough to stay within the number.

Betting Pick: Akron +20

Prediction: Purdue 82, Akron 63
