Missouri Tigers vs Norfolk State Spartans Point Spread Picks

Norfolk State won 25 games, but that was mostly in a league where they simply had the talent and experience edge, which won't be the case here. Going to school on a team that doesn't often play major conference teams, offers some insight on what to expect. Probably the truest duplication that can be made vs. what to expect in this one is the Norfolk State game vs. Marquette. Marquette loves to get up and down the floor in a frenetic pace - much the same as Missouri, and is quick, but not big. Norfolk St. played that game in slowdown fashion that saw just 117 total shots taken, and it wasn't because of teams going to the line with just 28 total free throws as well. Their game vs. Drexel saw just 105 total shots and their game vs. Virginia Tech saw 104. All three of their lined games this year went UNDER the total. Play this one UNDER.
