7:00PM EST: SMU/FAU Over 153.5 (3 Units)
These teams rank right at league average in terms of tempo but there should be some extra possessions in this game tonight. Offensive rebounding and transition offense is the reason why. SMU ranks 12th and FAU 48th in offensive rebounding %. They're both poor defensively with SMU ranking 252nd and FAU 201st in defensive rebounding %. Both teams crash the offensive glass, and it leaves the transition defense vulnerable. SMU's 74th and FAU 338th in PPP in transition defense. SMU's 64th and FAU is 39th offensively. These two also rank 6th and 7th in terms of transition offense frequency. SMU is 163rd and FAU 119th in turnovers per game as well. These teams love to get out and run and the opportunities will be there. FAU can get baskets from everywhere on the floor and are 13th in adjusted offensive efficiency for that reason. They're averaging 83.5 points per game and have 4 players averaging double digit points. SMU isn't as strong offensively, ranking 50th in Adj O but they do a good job attacking the basket and getting to the Rim.
