BTB Betting Pick
For the spread, take La Salle at +39.5. Michigan is a strong team with 94.7 points per game, but covering a spread of 39.5 is tough. La Salle scores 67.7 points per game, which should help them stay within the spread.
For the over/under, go with the under at 153.5. Michigan’s high scoring might not be enough to push the total over, as La Salle’s slower pace with 61.6 possessions per game could limit the scoring opportunities. A projected score of Michigan 95, La Salle 60 suggests the total stays under.
