Western Kentucky is off to a strong start, winning both its games allowing 66 and 67 points. The defense has allowed 36.4% and 35% shooting under new coach Rick Stansbury. The 66.5 points per game and 38.1 percent shooting allowed ranks second and third respectively in Conference USA. They face a Belmont squad off a loss in its lone game at Vanderbilt, shooting 35.3%. They like to shoot from long range, but were 9-of-41 against the Commodore defense. They won't find the going any easier against this Western Kentucky defense. Play this one UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Western Kentucky at Belmont
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers head out on the road for this first time this season. They come off a blowout win at home over a cupcake, but this is a big step up. The UNDER is 8-3 when the Hilltoppers score more than 90 points in their previous game. Belmont is off an 83-74 defeat at Arizona State Monday and comes home for the home opener. Belmont is 5-1 UNDER the total following a spread loss. Last season in Bowling Green, the Bruins rallied from a 15-point second half deficit to beat Western Kentucky, 64-63. Nick Smith's three-pointer with 12 seconds left provided the final margin. It was a defensive battle as Belmont shot 37%, just 9-of-33 from long range (27%), and the teams combined to miss 12 free throws. In fact, Western Kentucky was 33% from the charity stripe! This one stays UNDER.
