Both teams are off high scoring games Thursday, but don't look for Arkansas-Little Rock to try and run with Iowa State. Little Rock was only #7 in the Sun Belt in scoring this season, but has a smothering defense that ranked #1 allowing 55.5 ppg. The Trojans were down by 13 points with 3 1/2 minutes left in regulation on Thursday before Senior guard Josh Hagins took over and finished with a 31 points, seven rebounds, six assists and five steals. It's a confident, veteran team that is on a 10-4 spread run and 14-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. They are also 20-8 UNDER the total in non-conference games. Iowa State's starters scored 92 of its 94 points on Thursday logging a ton of minutes. The Cyclones are favored but not a strong defensive team, last in the Big 12 in points allowed and #8 in field goal defense. Iowa State is 9-3 UNDER the total at neutral sites and this is a game the dog will control the pace and keep it closer than oddsmakers anticipate, with the wagering value on a slow-paced first half. Back Arkansas Little Rock and take the first half UNDER.
