Seattle U vs Abilene Christian Betting Analysis
Only one team sits ahead of Seattle U in the WAC standings heading into their matchup against Abilene Christian tonight as the Wildcats sit 3-6 in WAC play, but have gone 2-1 in their last three games.
The Redhawks are coming off two straight road conference losses to Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State as they look to rebound at home where they’ve gone 9-0 so far this season.
They head in as a 7-point favorite to knock off the Wildcats tonight as Abilene Christian sits at a mediocre 6-11-1 against the spread so far this season. Can Seattle bounce back in a big way and win convincingly tonight? Let’s dig in.
Redhawks Ready to Bounce Back
Seattle U may be better this season if they didn’t rely on the 3pt shot so much. In their recent back-to-back losses, they shot a combined 9-49 from 3 pt range and only scored 105 points.
Luckily, Abilene Christian doesn’t defend the 3pt shot well ranking second to last in WAC play in 3pt percentage allowed on defense.
The Redhawks will be glad to be back home to deploy their inefficient 3pt shooting attack making 37% of shots at home while only shooting the 3-ball on the road at 28%.
Head coach Chris Victor must start encouraging his team to drive the ball more often as well as Seattle U ranks dead last in the WAC in free throw attempts per game in conference play.
Junior Cameron Tyson leads the charge for the Redhawks on offense averaging 19 ppg on the season. He’s only shot it at 32% over the team’s past three games though as he looks to take advantage of a sub-par Abilene Christian defense.
Seattle U should have no problem getting off quality shots once in the paint as Abilene Christian ranks 3rd to last in the NCAA in average height.
Wildcats Falling Back in WAC
Although Abilene Christian has won two of their last three games, those wins were against Utah Tech and UT Arlington. Both of which sit in the bottom of the WAC standings. This will be a much tougher task, more similar to when they played at Utah Valley losing by 30 points.
The Wildcats play at the fastest pace on offense of any WAC team during conference play but that fast play hasn’t led to anything special.
They rank dead last in 3pt percentage on offense, 8th in effective field goal percentage and 10th in offensive rebounding percentage during WAC play.
Their defense is bad as well, but feisty as the Wildcats average almost ten steals per game with their top four point scorers each averaging over a steal per game. They’re first in WAC play in turnovers forced on defense overall.
Where they fail is letting the opposition get off quality shots ranking last or second to last in WAC play on defense in effective field goal percentage, 3pt percentage and 2pt percentage allowed.
Seattle U vs Abilene Christian Prediction and Free Expert Pick
Don’t think too much about this one and take Seattle U minus the seven points. The Redhawks have their sites set on a potential regular season and/or conference tournament title while the Wildcats sit in the bottom half of the WAC standings.
Abilene Christian is 2-9 on the road and although Seattle hasn’t been the most efficient team shooting as of late, this is the perfect situation to turn that around. Seattle U wins by a score around 75-60.
