Looked like a lock 3/1 yesterday but 5 pt lead with a minute left and a sure under turned into an OT over with a long desperation 3 pointer followed by a TO on the inbounds pass with 10 seconds left, a subsequent foul and two made throws. Hmmm.
Iowa State/Morgan State under 161
Morgan State is #348 in Ken Pom's rankings, #296 in offensive efficiency and #357 in deficiency. Also, one of their better players missed the last game with an injury and his status is questionable. Iowa State has played 4 other cupcakes at home. They beat #364 Miss. Valley State 83-44, #346 IU Indianapolis 87-52, #305 Jackson State 100-58 and #300 Nebraska Omaha 83-51. Their normal rotation is 7 players with at least 4 getting 30+ minutes. In all 4 of these games they had 9 with double digit minutes, none with more than 28 and cleared the entire bench with everyone getting at least 3 minutes. This is the final "scrimmage" before the home opener at Colorado...a clear look ahead spot with everyone getting playing time.
Rider +19 at NC State
NC State is not a great shooting team. They are #241 from 3 pt range, #150 from 2 pt range and #253 from the FT line. They have not been world beaters against other weak teams either. They beat #362 Coppin State by 10 at home December 10 prior to a trip to Kansas and a 15-point loss. They also scraped by at home by 12 and 9 over two teams ranked #280 and #255 by Ken Pom.
I think rebounding will keep Rider in this game. They've played three really good teams away and out rebounded them all (#15 UCLA 38-35, #44 Iowa 35-33, and #49 Villanova 33-32...Villanova is #31 in the nation in rebounding %). NC State is #258 in getting only 48.8% of available rebounds. If Rider can control the boards they should stay within 19. This is also a possible look ahead game as the next one for NC Stae is the conference opener.
