Yesterday’s Results for Norfolk State vs Grambling

CBB Hidden GEM Early Friday Winner

Analysis: *3 Star Play Under* The Grambling State Tigers and Norfolk State Spartans meet in a neutral site battle at Mohegan Sun Arena. This is a much bigger arena than either of these two teams generally play at during the season. In their matchups last night both teams saw their games go under the total by a wide margin. Grambling will work to slow the tempo down the best they can in general. Grambling has played a bunch of very fast paced opponents (New Mexico, Florida, Cal Poly) this season. Norfolk State is 300th in average possession length, so they should be happy to play at a slow pace. Norfolk State has struggled on the defensive glass this year, but Grambling is one of the 20 worst teams in the country in offensive rebounding. Both of these teams are pretty careless with the basketball and that should lead to some dead ball turnovers in this one. Barring the teams shooting it much better than normal or a major foul fest, I think this total is several points too high for a neutral site game between two slow paced teams. Take the under.
