The PLAY: Total Under 138.5 (-110)
This is one of my Premium Plays For Tonight.
North Texas games almost always come down to whether the opponent can survive their pace and physicality, and UTSA simply hasn’t shown the offensive punch to do that, which is why the Under 138.5 fits this matchup so cleanly. UTSA is one of the least efficient scoring teams in Division I—38.5% shooting, 28.6% from three, and just 62.0 ppg in conference play—and their offense gets even more limited when forced into half‑court possessions, which is exactly what North Texas does better than almost anyone. The Mean Green slow games to a crawl, hold opponents to 64.9 ppg overall and 63.9 ppg at home, and rank top‑10 nationally in opponent FG attempts and opponent three‑point percentage. Their own offense doesn’t inflate totals either: 69.8 ppg, only 6.2 made threes, and AAC games averaging 133.3 total points. Add in that UTSA gives up 78.2 ppg, but mostly because they can’t stop anyone—not because they play fast—and North Texas’ style neutralizes that chaos by controlling tempo and limiting possessions. The historical trend only strengthens the case: six of the last seven meetings have stayed Under, and those games have averaged just 119.1 points, which is nowhere near this number. With UTSA’s offensive limitations, North Texas’ suffocating home defense, and a long‑term series trend built on low‑scoring grinders, this projects as another AAC game that settles comfortably below the mid‑130s.
