Saint Louis vs. Oregon State

Saint Louis takes a road trip to the Northwest preferring a slower pace, focusing on defense. The Billikens have only one player averaging in double figures. They used that strong defense the last game, allowing 55 points and 34.5% shooting in a victory over Murray State. Saint Louis is 11-5 UNDER the total in non-conference games, plus 17-6 UNDER the first half total when playing against a team with a winning record. Oregon State is playing some defense, too, on a five-game win streak. The Beavers are 29-12 UNDER the first half total against teams that hit 31% or less beyond the arc and the wagering value is on the first half to be a slow paced defensive duel. Play the first half UNDER.
