Western Michigan vs. UTEP

Western Michigan had to play yesterday against defending champion Villanova and did a good job on defense to control the pace, sailing UNDER the total. Western Michigan cut a 14-point second-half lead to 59-56 to draw within striking distances of the Wildcats. Western Michigan has scored 60 and 65 points the last two games, going five straight games UNDER the total on neutral courts. UTEP also has a quick turnaround, getting routed by Wake Forest yesterday. It was an up-tempo game, but look for both tired teams to play a slower pace. Play this one to finish UNDER.
