10* under 152

Illinois is a high scoring team but PSU plays solid defense and has played some low scoring games. Their last 2 meetings at PSU have sailed under this total.

I think we see a game with 142 to 146 on Wednesday.

Thanks and good luck.

10* over 172

These are two of the five best offenses in college basketball. Gonzaga played a game with Kansas that reached over 190. Whenever The Zags have played UNC (fast paced team) they have reached 190. 

Iowa is led by Luka Garza at 20+ ppg and solid outside shooting. They can hit their 3's and made 17 of them vs. the Tar Heels.

I think we see 180+ on Saturday.

10* over 150

All Iowa games have sailed over the total so far. NI may not be able to score much but Garza can score inside and pass out for 3's.

I think we see 153-155.

10* over 141

UNC gets a chance to put up points at home after two bad losses away from the Dean Dome. NCCU played a game with 164 vs. Iowa and 148 vs. Coastal Carolina.

Brooks, Bacot and Sharpe should score close in and Black, Love and RJ Davis should score 8 to 10 as well as backups like Walker Kessler.

I think we see 146 to 148 scored on Saturday.

10* over 142.5

UNC coach Roy Williams has shown he can score well vs. former assistants like Jerod Haase. UNCW had CB McGrath and ECU had Jeff Lebo.

I think we see 144 or more after two unders by UNC.

10* under 141.5

I like the under as this game will be played without a large crowd and ODU is off a loss at Maryland where they allowed 85 points. This is W&M's first game and they are without Nathan Knight, who graduated last year.

10* under 140.5

Bradley's game had 120 points on Wednesday. I think they try to slow down Xavier and we see 135 points on Thursday.

10* over 143.5

UNC was 14-19 last year and ended with a bad loss to Syracuse in the ACC tournament. They will want to start the season with a big win. They return 3 starters (Black, Bacot and Brooks) but will use new guards (Davis and Caleb Love) to go with big men Day'ron Sharp and Walker Kessler.

UNC plays fast under coach Williams and C of Charleston should be able to score in the 60's.

I think we see close to 150 so take the over!

10* Under 208

Most books have this at 207.5. We have seen 3 unders and 0 overs so far in Game 7's. Hopefully we see plenty of defense on Tuesday night.

Thanks and good luck.

10* under 212

We have seen unders in all the games so far. Both Brad Stevens and Nick Nurse have gotten solid defense from their players. 

I think we see 206 to 210 on Monday. Take the under.

10* under 220

Many books have this at 219.5 but there are some 220's. Both teams shot well from 3's last game. I think we see some fatigue as the series progresses and we know that Utah can play solid defense when needed. 

I think we see 210 to 216 scored on Sunday.

Thanks and good luck.

10* under 245

This will be a high scoring game but I think we see it end with 238 to 243 points so take the under.

10* under 243.5

There should be plenty of points scored but Houston is off a high scoring OT win vs. Dallas on Friday night. The Greek Freak should score lots of points for the Bucks but I am hoping for some Milwaukee defense and a game in the 234 to 240 range.

10* under 217.5

I like the under as the teams will be playing without crowds and we should see some solid defense in the 4th quarter. Teams should be rusty after a long layoff in this LA rivalry game between the Lakers and Clippers on a court they won't be familiar with.

10* over 152.5

UNC has scored 93 and 92 in its last two games while Duke has put up plenty of points at home. These two played a game with several OT's in Chapel Hill. Cole Anthony, Garrison Brooks, Keeling and Brandon Robinson have scored well for UNC while Duke has inside scorers to go with Tre Jones outside. 

There could be late 3's as well as FT's if UNC is behind. I think we see 155 or more.

10* over 151.5

Wake Forest has played some high score lately as they scored 176 (93-83) at UNC, 157 with Notre Dame, over 200 with Duke in OT, 165 against Ga Tech, 162 vs. Louisville and earlier had a game with Long Beach State that tallied 163. Wake is led by Childress, Brown, White and Sarr.

NC State has played Duke twice in the past three weeks and is off a loss at Duke. They are led by Johnson, Bryce, Daniels and Beverly. It is Senior Night and last home game so the Wolf Pack should be motivated against a WF defense that is lacking.

Hopefully, we see 155 or more.

10* over 143.5

UC Davis' last home game had close to 200 points and the first meeting was 88-83. Both games last year topped this total. Take the over.

10* over 147.5

These two played a very high scoring game at the Dean Dome last year. Most of the NCSU team returns. UNC hasn't won since they scored 75 at NCSU in a win. Brooks missed last game. Cole Anthony, Bacot and Keeling should score for UNC as well as senior Robinson. State has Bryce and Markell Johnson to score. I think we see 150.

10* over 160

BYU has Childs inside and TJ Haws outside to score. Childs was out for the first meeting at Gonzaga. BYU is shooting 50.4% which is #3 in the nation and scored over 100 at home recently.

The Zags are solid inside as well as outside. They scored 92 at home vs. the Cougars. 

I think we see close to 165 to 170 on Saturday night.

10* over 118

UNC is off a road loss at Wake Forest and lost in OT at home to Duke. Christian Keeling has played much better lately. Cole Anthony and Garriosn Brooks should provide scoring as well. I think we see 120 to 125 on Saturday.

10* under 155

Santa Clara scored just 39 last year vs the Zags so hopefully we see the visitors struggle to score on Thursday and we see 145 to 150 points.

10* over 220.5

Denver has played 6 overs in a row while Dallas has 23 overs 13 unders this year with 12 overs/7 unders at home. I hope to see 225 points tonight.

10* Over 142.5

UNC is off games where they scored 47 and 49 points and lost badly. This game will be played at Carmichael Arena, where they played before the Dean Dome. They did play a game vs. William and Mary there a few years ago that went over the total.

Surely, Cole Anthony can score on some drives and Brooks/Bacot can get some easy buckets. Pierce and Keeling are due for decent offensive games.

Wofford is off a 112-66 game vs. a weak opponent and played games of 158 with Gardner Webb and 159 with W&M. Nathan Hoover leads a team full of seniors and juniors.

10* over 115.5

This game will be ugly but it may be close and contain some late fouls as UNC is known to do. Hopefully both teams get to 58 as both are off bad losses.

10* over 125.5

These two used to be rivals in the Colonial Athletic Conference. They used to play twice per year but are playing just once per season. ODU is off a bad loss at W&M. VCU has struggled as well in recent games. I hope to see 130 points on Saturday night.

10* over 135

These two played a 79-77 (156 points) game at W&M two years ago. W&M has played recent games with 165, 179, 145, 143 and 159 while ODU has reached 151, 145 and 158 (with JMU). Xavier Green, Curry and Wade can score for ODU while Nathan Knight, Loewe and Van Vlie can score for the Tribe. W&M has a new coach but went out and picked up some talented grad transfers. I hope to see 140+.

10* under 154.5

UNC has struggled to score 80 at home. They could get B Robinson back but Cole Anthony is their only proven scorer and he misses as much as he makes.

10* over 136.5

Cal is off an ugly 54-50 game. Duke is ranked #1 in some polls but has mostly freshmen. Tre Jones is a soph who came back and scored over 30 last game. Alex Connell and Jack White are back and are stiffs. No way this team deserves to be #1. 

Duke should be able to create some pace and make some shots. Cal did play 158 vs, Pepperdine and 144 vs. Cal Baptist. 

I think we see 140 to 142. 

10* over 142

I expect this to get to 148 with Duke playing at home off a ragged game vs. Kansas at Madison Square Garden. Tre Jones should lead the way for the Blue Devils as they face Colorado St.

10* over 152

ND has everyone back and can make 3's. Pfluger is a solid guard for the Irish.

UNC likes to play fast with Roy Williams and point guard Cole Anthony should be able to find open players. Bacot and Brooks can score inside. We could see an ugly sloppy game as we saw with Duke/Kansas but I like our chances for an over.

10* under 233

I think we see Golden State play better on defense after losing badly in the previous game. The Warriors have shown they can bounce back and I expect them to win and allow less points on Friday night vs. the LA Clippers.

10* under 230

Brooklyn won game one and since then has allowed plenty of points to the 76ers. They need to focus on defense and slow down the game to stay in it. Therefore, I expect a game in the 220's on Tuesday night.

10* under 237

We saw a low scoring game one win by Golden State. Then, a very high scoring over in which GS blew a 31 point lead. I expect to see a lower scoring game in the 228 to 233 range on Thursday.

10* under 213

The season is winding down and both teams have some injuries. Recent meetings have seen the under profit. I think we see 205 to 210 tonight.

10* under 173

I think we see some defense in this postseason game and it ends with 165 to 170 points scored.

Texas Southern at Wisconsin Green Bay

10* under 177

This is one of the highest totals this year. Texas Southern is off a 3-overtime game that ended 108-102. An earlier postseason game went into OT with plenty of points. Wisconsin Green Bay had a game with ETSU that reached 196 points but that was on the road. At home they have seen 158, 145, 159, 137, 155, 164, 175 and 146 in their last 8.

I won't be shocked by a high scoring game but all it takes for for a cold spell and we see a game in the 168 to 175 range.

Texas Tech vs. Gonzaga

Saturday

10* under 137.5

Texas Tech just played a game with Michigan that had just 107 points. Their game vs. Duke earlier this year had 127. They lost to Villanova in last year's tourney and that game had 130 points. Gonzaga is a high scoring team but their game with FSU had 130 and earlier games with St Mary's had only 107 and 121 points. Hopefully, we see an under on Saturday.

Golden State at Minnesota

8pm eastern Friday

10* under 230

The under is 25-8 in the last 33 meetings.

The under is 19-7-1 in the past 27 meetings in Minnesota.

GS has 13 unders in their last 16 games.

GS has 13 unders and 6 overs in their last 19 Friday games.

GS has played 6 unders in their last 7 on the road.

Minn has 5 unders in their last 6.

10* under 171

Hopefully one team struggles to score and we see a game in the 160's.

10* under 240

This is the highest total on the board tonight. I think we see a game in the 230 to 237 range tonight so take the under.

10* under 177

All it takes is for one team to struggle to score and we see a game in the 172 to 175 range.

10* under 226

The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Antonio. Golden State has played 7 unders in a row while the Spurs have played under in 7 of their last 8. I think we see an under on Monday night as the under trends point toward.

10* over 137

These two just played  a game that had 154 points. All 3 ACCT games have gone over so far. Take the over as I think we see 140.

under 157

I like the under in this conference tourney game set for Monday. Hopefully Pepperdine will struggle to score and we have a game in the 152 to 155 range.

10* under 166

I think we see 155 to 164 points scored without Zion playing so take the under.

10* over 132

This is a low total for an ACC game involving Va Tech. I think we see 135 to 138 points scored on Friday night.

10* under 140.5

Wisconsin plays solid defense at home. These two played a game in the 140's last year at Iowa. I hope to see a game in the 130's.

10* over 126.5

These two played a game with 137 earlier. Stith and Caver have been getting help from a third and fourth scorer like Xavier Green in the second half of the season. Take the over on Wednesday.

10* over 142.5

I expect to see plenty of points. UTSA is home and likes a nice pace. ODU scored 100 vs. them last year. Stith, Green and Caver should play well for the Monarchs.

10* over 157

These two should produce over 160 as history has shown plenty of points when W&M plays at home on Saturday and when these two meet. Take the over and expect Nathan Knight and Justin Pierce to score their share for the Tribe.

10* over 122

The first number out for the total is 122 so check for some sportsbooks to post 121 to 121.5.

Virginia is known for solid defense but they have played some higher scores lately as Hunter, Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome are solid shooters and can make 3's. VT has been without guard Justin Robinson but has some key scorers as they sit close to 20 wins and in the top 15 in the polls.

Take the over on Monday.

10* under 312

Hopefully we see some defense with teammates of Lebron and the Greek Freak trying to win. There was under 300 points last year.

10* over 120

Charlotte can struggle to score but they are led by senior Jon Davis. The first meeting was 76-70 (146 points) and last year at ODU had 147 points. ODU is off a low scoring game at MTSU but their last seven before that had 127 points or more.

Charlotte's gone over 124 points in six of its last seven. ODU has developed several scorers like Xavier Grren to go with BJ Stith and Ahmad Caver. I think we see 125 or more on Saturday afternoon so take the over.

10* under 136

I think UVA will try to slow down the game at home and limit possessions. 136 is a low total but I think we see an under on Saturday night as Virginia is known for their defense.

over 134

I think we see 138 to 141 points tonight. Last year's game was in the 150's.

10* Under 150

GT just played a game with Duke that reached only 119. They had recent games with 101, 130 and 124. They did have a high scoring game at home with Wake Forest. I expect Ga Tech to slow it down and we see a game with 140 to 146 points.

10* under 228.5

Sacramento has played unders in 11 of 12 while LA has played 5 unders in a row. Hopefully we see a game in the 220 to 224 range that stays under.

10* under 147

These two played a game in the 130's last year. This key game starts at 12 noon so hopefully the early start will help with the under. I hope to see a slow start by both teams. Hopefully we see another game in the 130's in the Big Ten battle.

10* over 127

ODU just scored 147 with Charlotte making their last few games end with 138, 127, 149, 153, 135 and 137 points while UTEP has scored 147, 139, 129, 109, 130, 135, 141 and 137.

ODU is getting points from Caver and Stith but Xavier Green, Ezipke, Dickens and Kitcart have played well lately as well. Take the over.

10* under 216.5

The trends point to an under as 7 of the last 8 at Utah have stayed under. The under is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. Utah under trends:

under 11-2 last 13 at home.

under 4-1 on Wednesday

under is 6-2 last 8

10* over 121.5

ODU has played with more offense lately. Ahmad Caver and  Stith lead the way. ODU scored 88 and 89 vs. Charlotte last year. Charlotte did change coaches but 6 of their last 7 games have gone over 121.

10* under 157.5

UNC has struggled to score lately. Their 3-point shooting has been lacking. Take the under in this early game.

10* under 150

ODU is off a high scoring loss at FAU on Thursday. Jeff Jones will have his team prepared on defense after allowing 80 points vs. an average FAU team.

over 148

Both are off overtime Thursday games and may have tired legs but that can hurt the defense. William and Mary has played mostly overs at home on Saturdays. The home team is led by Nathan Knight and Justin Pearce.

I think we see 150 to 154 points and maybe even another OT.

Be sure to check out our PREMIUM PICKS for just $19.99.

10* under 137

I like the under. Last year's game at Wisconsin ended with under 110 points.  The Badgers are known for their defense.

10* over 142

It is a lot of points for an ODU game but Marshall just played UVA and 164 was scored. The two meetings last year had 163 and 158. ODU played a recent game with Fairfield that had 148 points. Take the over.

10* under 158.5

UNC likes to play fast at home but Harvard has played some close games with low scores. Harvard is coached by former Duke player Tommy Ammaker and should be excited to head to the Dean Dome for a game with ACC blue blood, the Tar Heels. I think we see 150 to 156 points.

10* over 144

JMU has played some low scoring games but does have several where they reached 150. They have played 3 OT games and one game with W&M went to OT last year.

W&M is off a road loss at UVA in which they scored 40 and they have played overs in close to 70% of home games in the last 50 games. Their home games reached 106-89 with William Peace, 153 with Radford, 171 with GMU, 148 with High Point, and 172 with St Joe's. The two games with the Dukes last year had 160 and 150 (before OT).

The Tribe is led by Nathan Knight and Justin Pearce while JMU gets points from Mosley and Lewis. Hopefully, we see plenty of points on Friday.

10* under 234.5

The unders have profited in 12 of the last 13 years on Christmas Day. I expect plenty of points but only in the range of 226 to 232.

10* under 175

There should be plenty of points scored but I think we see some defense and a game with 166 to 171.

10* over

UNC returns home and plays UNCW who is coached by former UNC asst CJ McGrath so points should be aplenty. Coby White is out for the Tar Heels but this game should reach 174.

10* over 125

These two used to be in the CAA together and had quite a rivalry. They have different styles and usually play high scoring games as close to 67% of their meetings in the past 14 years have gone over.

Take the over.

10* under 141.5

I would have liked a higher number but think this game ends with 132 to 137 points so take the under.

Stanford at UNC

7pm Monday

over 155

This is UNC's home opener. They just scored a ton of points at Elon and have a history of playing unders after scoring over 100. UNC and Stanford played a game with 168 points last year and Stanford's game with Pacific had 169. They played a 108-87 game with Florida last year. Roy has had a history of high scoring games against former coaches/players like Haase. Hopefully, Kenny Williams can make a few shots on Monday and we get to 160.

10* under 215.5

I think we see an under in Game 4 with GS up 3-0 in games. We could see a low scoring 4th quarter that leads to a game in the 208 to 211 range.

10* under 216

I like the under in the second game after a close game one that went into OT.

10* under 208

Hopefully we slow an ugly scoring game like game 7 of the Boston/Cleveland series.

10* over 198.5

I think we see Lebron score his share as well as some late points to get to 200.

10* under 214

The trends point to an under. Houston has 4 unders in their last 4 road games and 14-2 under in the last 16 vs. Pacific teams. Under is 39-18 last 57 overall while GS has 7 unders in its last 8 and under has profited in the 7 of the last 8 meetings.

10* over the total

I expect Cleveland to shoot better with Lebron James leading the way. Love, JR Smith and Korver should make some key baskets as well.

Take the over.

10* under 227.5

We have seen one team struggle to score in this series so far. Hopefully, we see NO struggle in one quarter or a slow 4th period if Golden State is ahead by 10 or more.

10* under 231.5

All it takes is one team to struggle to score or a slow quarter and we end up with a total in the 220's and an under.

10* over 206

I like the over as Harden and Chris Paul are great on offense. Houston scored well over 100% but shot close to 44%. Utah has Donovan Mitchell and does need to get used to playing without Ricky Rubio so they have had time to prepare.

10* under 227

All it takes is for some key missed shots and a slow quarter and we see a game in the 222 to 224 range. Take the under.

10* over 204.5

Golden State will jump ahead and push it since they don't want to go back to San Antonio. I like them to score close to 210. Take the over.

10* under 220

It is late in the season and we are seeing tired legs. NO has played unders in 5 of 6 while Phoenix has unders in 8 of 10. I think we see an under on Friday night.

10* under 155

I think the total is too high for a Final Four game and we get an under.

10* under 226.5

The trends point to an under:

The under has won 4 of the last 5 in Houston and the under has profited 36-16-1 in the last 53 meetings.

Chris Paul is doubtful as well.

Take the under on Saturday.

10* under 133.5

These two played a 60-44 (104 points) at Duke this year. Syracuse games in the NCAA tourney have been low scoring (allowing 56, 52 and 53 points to Az State, TCU and Michigan State) and they will play solid defense as always. Neither team is very deep. Take the under.

10* under 159.5

Both are from the state of West Va. Marshall is good on offense and below average on defense. Bob Huggins of West Va should have his team led by Javeon Carter to focus on playing defense vs. players like Jon Elmore.

10* under 158

I think Kentucky will win by 10 and the game stays in the lower 150's.

10* over 163

UNC is a high scoring team that just finished playing Virginia. They will be happy to face another offense team that has scorers. The game is being played in Charlotte so there will be plenty of Tar Heel fans.

I think we see 168 to 172 score so go with the over on Friday.

10* over 140

These two played just last week so UNC should be used to the Orange zone. The last few meetings have gone over the total. UNC has some juniors and seniors who have experience vs. Syracuse.

10* under 162

OU was playing plenty of high scores earlier but the team is not deep and Trae Young was tired after playing so many minutes and wearing down after  a full season.

10* under 236.5

This is a high total. The two meetings this year reached 214 and 215. It will take close to 60 points per quarter to get the over. Hopefully, one team has a slow spell and we see a game in the 230 range.

10* under 163

Duke has been playing better defense lately. The first meeting ended with 160 points. UNC is off a home loss where they allowed 91 to Miami. They played good defense in the second half vs. the Blue Devils in the first meeting.

10 star

Over 129

GW is off a low scoring loss and played over in 7 of 8 @ home.

10 over 153

UNC is home and likes to play fast. Two years ago at unc was above 160.

10* under 161

Both teams can score quickly but it is late in the season and there are tired legs. Marvin Bagley has been out for Duke. 

The trends favor the under:

*Duke's last 4 have stayed under.

*VT's last 6 have gone under

*12-3 under the total in the last 15 meetings

*VT under 6-1 on Mondays

VT under 4-1 last 5 at home

10* over 156

5-1 over in the last 6 meetings. The earlier game ended with 159 and last year at W&M saw 168 points. C of C has played overs in 19 of their last 26 CAA games. College of Charleston has 3 players averaging between 17 and 18 points. 

William and Mary over trends:

*over 41-18-1 last 60 in CAA

*over in 5 of last 7

*over 22-7 last 29 in CAA

It is Senior Day at W&M as Cohn, Burchfield, Tot and Harrison will be honored. Hopefully, they can score and we see an over on Saturday.
