Trends: ND 22-11 SU, 15-15-1 ATS, 15-16 O/U. SFA 28-5 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U.

KenPom efficiency ratings: ND 40 (overall), 11 (offense), 168 (defense). SFA 25, 66, 11

Effective FG percentage: ND 53.8, SFA 54.9 EFG% against: ND 49.2, SFA 49.1

Pick: Stephen F. Austin took it right to West Virginia, dominating the Mountaineers defensively with high intensity defense. The Lumberjacks forced 22 turnovers and only committed seven. From start to finish, SFA looked for real.

We expect that to continue on Sunday. The Jacks rate higher than Notre Dame and opened as a 3-point dog. They were quickly bet down down +1 or +1.5 and we wouldn't be surprised to see SFA as the favorite come Sunday morning. We'll take the Lumberjacks.
