One total play for tonight [B]842 Weber State UNDER 158.5[/B]
In the Vikings last game they allowed Northern Arizona to shoot a blistering 71% from the field. I would think that after allowing an opponent to shot 71% that there should be an emphasis on defense heading into your next game. The Wildcats also played poor defense in their last game allowing Idaho State to shoot 50% and I would expect a better effort from them particularly at home where they have played good defense this season. No doubt the Vikings have their hands full here against this Wildcat team that sits in 1st place in the big sky conference. They have won only one game in 16 tries against this team and only are averaging 71 ppg on the road this season. Here are some comments about slowing the game down: "We have to come together and play good 'D,'" said center Steve Panos. "We need to focus on our transition defense. They like to get the ball and push it really fast. We need to get our matchups and make it a half-court game." For as high scoring of a team that the Vikings are they really have just done it with good shooting as they are just a middle of the pack pace team. I do not believe this will be a track meet type of game and for it to get up and over the total both teams are going to need to shoot it exceptionally well and it is unlikely that we get a game with both teams shooting 50%+ from the field.
