Trends
Richmond is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 road games. The under is 8-1 in Richmond’s last 9 games against a team with a losing record. St. Joe’s is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games. The under is 4-1 in St. Joe’s last 5 home games. The road team is 14-4 ATS in these two teams last 18 head to head meetings.
Pick
St. Joe’s comes into this game after losing four games in a row, with three of the four losses coming by at least 13 points. Richmond has alternated losses and wins over their last five games and did beat a good Saint Louis team two games ago. St. Joe’s is scoring 72.1 points per game, but they are only shooting 42.7% from the field. Richmond has allowed fewer points against per game this season, but they have struggled to get stops in recent games. Both teams are struggling on defense right now, so I am going to take the over.
