UT Rio Grande Valley Basketball Preview - 02-17-2025
UT Rio Grande Valley has been on a roll recently, winning five of its last 12 games to put themselves in position to claim the Southland Conference crown. They enter this matchup against Incarnate Word having won their previous two contests by an average margin of 20.8 points per game while losing its two most recent contests by 8.7 average margin.
These teams have already met twice this season, with UT Rio Grande Valley winning in both contests - Incarnate Word coming out victorious both times - but this game could end up being low scoring affair with an over/under line set at 148.5 points and likely no score exceed.
No player on either team has reached 20 points this season, with both defenses playing well - Incarnate Word's defense has held opponents to 72.3 points per game this season; only 2.0 more than what the Vaqueros allow per contest.
UT Rio Grande Valley boasts the third-best scoring offense in the country at 86.7 points per game and ranks third for 3-point shooting accuracy (10.6 made 3-pointers per game and +123 scoring differential this season). Meanwhile, Incarnate Word's defense has improved since entering Division 1, though their streak of victories has not. Regardless, an over/under wager looks like the wise choice here.
