| CBB | (701) St. Josephs at (702) Colorado State: Total | 11:00pm EDT - Mar 18/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 143.5 (-110)
The Under 143.5 makes sense because this matchup is built around two defenses that consistently drag games into the mud, and Colorado State’s pace all but guarantees a slower, possession‑by‑possession grind. The Rams sit 358th nationally in tempo, one of the slowest teams in the country, and their home defensive numbers are elite—just 69.2 points allowed per game in Fort Collins, with opponents shooting barely 45% inside the arc. St. Joe’s has been even better defensively over the last few weeks, giving up only 65.0 points per game over their last 10, and their last five road games have averaged just 125.2 total points, a clear indicator of how their style travels. Colorado State’s offense is efficient but methodical, and St. Joe’s struggles to score consistently against structured defenses, especially away from home. With both teams comfortable playing deep into the shot clock, both defenses trending strong, and the first team to 70 likely winning, this matchup profiles cleanly under 143.5. No More than 138 points will be scored.
