Louisiana Tech at UTEP

Louisiana Tech is a good offensive team off a bad game, getting waxed by Middle Tennessee, 87-70 at home. They are fourth in Conference USA in scoring, tops in three-point shooting (39%). On the road, the Bulldogs allow 71.1 points per game and the OVER is 9-4 when following a double-digit loss at home. They head to Texas-El Paso, off an embarrassing blowout loss of their own to Old Dominion, 82-33. They are home from a two-game trip and won the opener of the trek 87-86 at NC Charlotte. UTEP is 7-3 OVER the total when following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. When these teams met last month it was a 97-88 offensive show and this bounce-back game for both squads will be as well. Play the OVER.
