Southern Conference betting tips

Bucky McMillan's Bulldogs live and die by the 3-pointer, manufacturing a top-90 attempt rate nationally. Nevertheless, they were without shooting guard AJ Staton-McCray (MCL injury), their second-leading scorer, over the last four regular-season games. Staton-McCray also boasts their second-best perimeter efficiency (42.5%).

His status for the SoCon tournament is unknown, making it difficult to back one-seed Samford — at a fairly steep price. Even with do-it-all center Achor Achor (foot) back in the lineup, the Bulldogs' ceiling is a bit hampered if Staton-McCray is out or even limited.

Enter two-seed UNC Greensboro, which is stationed at +450. The Spartans are on the opposite side of the bracket, meaning they wouldn't face Samford until the title game.

Mike Jones' unit stumbled down the stretch, losing two of its final three regular-season contests. The Spartans were also dealt a pair of nine-point defeats versus Samford. However, their pace ranks in the 16th percentile (via CBB Analytics), making them an intriguing pick to upend the Bulldogs a third time around. They must dictate a more methodical pace than in their first two meetings.

Between both games, UNC Greensboro forward Mikeal Brown-Jones combined for a 66.7% clip at the rim (10-of-15 shooting). Browns-Jones, a three-level scorer, would likely give the Spartans fits a third time around. His proficiency is worth monitoring if you're interested in live betting on this potential championship matchup.
