This is a game where the total might be a bit too loo between two teams that can rack up the offense quickly. Despite both playing at a slower pace, the game can change quickly and both teams have been able to run up the scores in this tournament. Both teams are capable of getting to at least 70 plus points, more so Connecticut can reach even higher scores themselves. NW averages 68 points per game but in this tournament have gone beyond that mark. Even in their last few games of the season, NW put up over 80 and 90 points in two of their last four games and with a talent in Boo Buie and his three point shooting, who will play his best game, the score should get over the number, especially if UConn hits its season average of 81. Northwestern should be able to get to 60 plus points too.

NW are 11-2 to the Over this season after playing a game as an underdog. UConn are 2-0 to the Over this season when playing their 2nd game in 3 days. UConn are 10-3 to the Over in the last few seasons after allowing 60 points or less 2 straight games.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
