Against the spread
LEAN CAMPBELL +4.5 (-110).
The Fighting Camels have been electric as of late, and it is March after all. They covered 9 of their last 11 games in the regular season and then 2 of 3 in the Big South Tournament, only failing to cover as a 6-point favorite in a 5-point win.
Asheville has failed to cover both games and is 5-4 ATS in its last 9 games. The Bulldogs are solid on both sides of the court, but is averaging just 70.5 points per game in the tourney which is almost 5 fewer per game than during the regular season.
It is tough to distance yourself in games this competitive. That said, back the underdogs and take CAMPBELL +4.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 135.5 (-115).
Campbell has gone Over in 6 straight games and in all 3 tournament battles. It also went over in 7 of its last 9 regular-season games as well. The Fighting Camels rank 79th in the nation in field goal percentage (46.3%) as well.
Asheville has a dynamic offense and hasn’t played well on that side of the floor, so some improvement is due. It ranks 21st in field goal percentage (48.3%) and 6th in 3-point field goal percentage (39.7%). It has gone Over in 6 of its last 10 games as well.
Back the OVER 135.5 (-115).
