Stetson needs more than a scoring burst

Stetson has averaged 60.0 points through three games while allowing 85.7, a difficult combination to carry into another road contest. Collin Kuhl leads the Hatters at 16.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, but the team's 28 percent three-point shooting leaves little room for prolonged offensive droughts.

The Hatters' three completed games have all been away from home, and the scoring pattern has moved in the wrong direction. They put up 72 points in an 85-72 loss at Clemson, then scored 55 in an 81-55 defeat at South Carolina and 53 in a 91-53 loss at West Virginia. The Clemson game showed they can produce a more competitive offensive outing. The next two games, though, paired diminished scoring with substantial points conceded, making a sustained response at both ends the challenge for Stetson.

Howard has an opening on the boards

Howard brings a 1-2 record into its first designated home game after three road contests. The Bison average 73.7 points and 37.3 rebounds per game, compared with Stetson's 60.0 and 27.3. Cam Gillus leads Howard with 16.7 points and 3.3 assists per game, giving its offense a productive focal point.

Howard's completed results also call for caution. The Bison lost 72-62 at Yale, responded with a 94-83 win at Alcorn State, then fell 78-65 at Pennsylvania. That Alcorn State performance demonstrated their ability to generate enough offense to overcome a high-scoring opponent, but the two losses show that production has not been consistent. Against Pennsylvania, Howard scored far less than it had in the win, and the Bison have conceded at least 72 points in each completed game. Their recent results make defensive control as important as offensive rhythm.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Howard Bison.

Howard's stronger scoring and rebounding averages make the Bison the pick, especially with Stetson's offense fading across its three losses. Howard's own uneven results keep this from looking like a certainty.
