Louisiana Lafayette's defense is 12th in the 14-team Sun Belt Conference in opponent shooting (.449), and last in defending the 3-pointer (.365). Three of their last five have gone OVER the total. Appalachian State averages 72.9 points, with three players scoring in double digits. Seniors 6-5 Kasen Jennings (14.8 ppg) and Alonzo Dodd (13.6 ppg) man the backcourt and lead the team in scoring, while 6-9 Luke Wilson (10.6 ppg, 7.6 rpg) is a handful up front. They're third in the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio. Appalachian State is on a 4-2 run OVER the total. This is a low total, but in the last two meetings between these teams, they scored 130 and 158 total points. Take Louisiana/Appalachian State OVER the total.
