A pair of powerhouse defensive teams meet for this one. Cincinnati is on a 45-12 run UNDER the total and is holding opponents to 54.5 points per game, #9 best in the nation. Cincy also ranks nationally in blocks per game (#11 at 6.3) and field-goal percentage defense (#24 at .372%). The UNDER is 42-13 in the Bearcats' last 55 non-conference games. The Bearcats have held their opponents under 70 points for 15 consecutive games, dating back to last season. That's tied with New Mexico for the second-longest active streak in the nation. Virginia is first at 17 consecutive games. Cincinnati is 5-0 UNDER the total against the ACC and faces an NC State team that is great at rebounding, shot blocking and defense. They just held a good LA Tech team to .415% shooting in a win. Cincinnati won last season's meeting with NC State 68-57 and this one shapes up as a defensive duel as well. Take the UNDER.

North Carolina State at Cincinnati
5:00 PM Eastern
NC State will be a confident team as they shot lights out in their opener, hitting on 62% of their shots led by 27 points from T.J. Warren and 24 by Desmond Lee. Cincinnati struggled in their opener, as they shot 40% and beat North Carolina Central by just 13. The problem wasn't just shooting, they allowed 27 to Jeremy Ingrahm, and with NC State having a dynamic duo to defend this game will be a lot closer than it looks. The Wolfpack is strong off a win at 21-10 ATS in their last 31 after claiming victory, while Cincinnati struggles to protect their home court where they are a woeful 20-41 ATS in their last 61. Grab the points and play on NC State.
