Pick
I’m backing the over here. Nothing from a side perspective in this game stands out here as both teams have been wildly inconsistent as of late and while Rider is playing the better basketball, winning three in a row, they’re a hard team to trust ATS. The over has been a common trend in this matchup with a history of totals that are just far too low for the matchup at hand and I think that trend continues here. Give me the over.
