Betting Trends for vs
The Saint Louis Billikens are still one of the favorites in the A-10 even though they bring in a 5-4 conference record, and they will need to continue catch their footing as they haven’t looked right since the COVID pause. The Billikens have one of the best backcourt duos in the A-10 as Javonte Perkins leads the way with 16.9 PPG while Jordan Goodwin is pitching in 14.6 PPG and 10.2 RPG, but the strength of this team is on the defensive side of the court as they are holding their opponents to an average of 64.7 PPG. The UMass Minutemen have shown promise all season long, but the biggest problem has been they have only played 12 games this season with 1 game since February 6th. Saint Louis is coming off a solid win against Richmond while the Minutemen lost to Richmond by 14 in their recent game, and I expect the Billikens to win this one at home. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Billikens win and cover ATS 75-63.
