JHX Hoops vs. La Familia
On Monday, JHX Hoops knocked off the Aftershocks to advance to the Alumni Championship against La Familia. Ultimately, JHX Hoops is led by three players: Frank Mason III, Jacob Hanna and Zeke Mayo. In that most recent game, those three each scored at least 13 points, while every other player added no more than three points.
JHX Hoops has averaged 67.8 points per game through four games, which is also 10th-best this tournament. Their defense also ranks 10th, allowing an average of 68.3 points per game. They’ve probably lucked out with teams shooting below 25% from downtown against them in this tournament.
Meanwhile, La Familia escaped Boeheim’s Army on Sunday, earning a 70-66 victory. Archie Goodwin scored 30 points, but only one other player scored in double figures in the win. La Familia has averaged 66.8 points per game, one point shy of JHX Hoops. The defense has also allowed 68.3 points per game, with teams shooting just 27.1% from downtown against them.
Neither team has been super impressive on either end of the field. Instead of taking a winner, I’ll ride with the under. The pressure is on, and neither team has a ton of depth.
Pick: Under 138.5 Points (-150)
