This is the second straight meeting between these two teams as they just met at Texas-El Paso in a one-sided game. But the earlier meeting at Middle Tennessee was a close one, a 75-72 Blue Raider win. UTEP shot 51% from the field and won the rebound battle. UTEP coach Rodney Terry is 54-34 ATS as a road underdog or pick and they are a big dog to a 10-20 Middle Tennessee State squad that is #11 in Conference USA in scoring, #10 in shooting and three-point shooting. On defense, they are #10 in points allowed, field goal shooting and three-point shooting surrendered. They are also #12 in scoring margin getting beat by -4.6 points per C-USA game. Middle Tennessee is 5-13 ATS against teams who attempt 21 or more treys per contest, so back the big dog in another close one. Play UTEP.
