Southern Utah’s scoring faces a road test

The Thunderbirds average 108.3 points and 50.3 rebounds per game while shooting 56% from the field. Anthony Breland leads them with 14.2 points per game, and Rashaad Davis averages 4.8 assists. Those figures suggest multiple ways to create offense, though the scoring average alone does not settle how they will fare here.

Southern Utah’s three home wins featured 134 points against West Coast Baptist, 97 against Grace (CA) and 143 against Bethesda. Its first road game looked markedly different: High Point held the Thunderbirds to 59 points in an 88-59 loss. The contrast makes offensive consistency away from home the central question. Southern Utah scored freely in its wins, but the High Point result showed that its early output has not carried over to every setting. A stronger response after that loss would make this a more competitive matchup.

Wake Forest looks to build on its home results

Wake Forest averages 72.0 points per game and shoots 43% from the field, leaving less margin for a quiet offensive night. Kevair Kennedy leads the Demon Deacons at 16.3 points and 3.3 assists per game, while Gavin Placide averages 7.7 rebounds. Their 2-0 home record offers a useful counterpoint to Southern Utah’s scoring figures.

The Demon Deacons have scored 83 and 82 points in home wins over Maryland Eastern Shore and Charleston Southern, respectively. They allowed 62 and 64 points in those games, giving their offense room to work without needing a scoring surge. Their road trip to Vanderbilt was another story: Wake Forest scored 51 in a 74-51 defeat. Back at LJVM Coliseum, the question is whether the steadier play from the two home victories holds up against a Southern Utah team capable of producing much bigger totals.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest’s two home wins and Southern Utah’s sharp scoring drop at High Point point toward the Demon Deacons. The Thunderbirds’ productive home performances leave some uncertainty about how much offense they can bring on the road.
