Shammah Scott Points Prediction: Under 11.5 vs Akron — March 20 NCAAB Pick
Shammah Scott's points prop is a solid Under play on Friday's college basketball slate. The Texas Tech Red Raiders host the Akron Zips on March 20, and our model projects Scott to fall short of his 11.5-point line against a defensively sound opponent. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Shammah Scott Stats & Recent Form
Scott has been a complementary scorer for Texas Tech this season, averaging 9.2 points per game over his last five contests. The Red Raiders guard has struggled with consistency lately, hitting double figures in just two of his past five games. When Kyler Edwards and other Texas Tech perimeter threats are healthy and engaged, Scott's offensive opportunities contract significantly, pushing him toward the lower end of his scoring range.
Matchup Analysis: Texas Tech vs Akron
Akron's defense has tightened considerably in recent weeks, ranking in the top 100 nationally in points allowed per possession. The Zips play a physical, scrappy brand of defense that limits role players and reserves—exactly the archetype Scott represents in the Red Raiders' rotation. Texas Tech's home court advantage is real, but Akron's defensive discipline makes this a challenging environment for Scott to rack up scoring volume.
Our Scott Points Prop Pick for March 20
Under 11.5 Points (-125) is the play. Scott's recent scoring trends, limited usage rate when Texas Tech's stars are active, and Akron's physical perimeter defense all point to a sub-11 performance. The -125 odds are fair value for a prop that should land well below the line. Lock it in.
