- Root Reserve on Old Dominion
In a matchup between teams still seeking their first ATS win of the season, I'm taking the points with Old Dominion. The Xavier Musketeers average less than 70 points per game and lack the continuity and depth you want from a team laying points after two losses. It's not like they have been stout defensively, either, as their opponents are shooting over 50 percent from the field. Pitino is a good coach, but it will take him time to build a winner in the Big East. The Musketeers failed to cover as spread favorites in their first three opportunities and will fall short again today. Both squads are comfortable playing at a slower tempo, too. Xavier averages 71.6 possessions per game (223rd), while ODU averages 71.4 (232nd).
