At 7:00pm ET, my December CBB Total Of the Month is on Portland vs Kent State Over. This is a very low total when you consider that Portland's last game produced 191 points. OK, a number of those came in overtime but the Pioneers also allowed 94 and 85 points in their previous 2 games, neither of which went to OT. They're not a good defensive team (allow 81ppg overall) and the Golden Flashes will be happy to be the 4th straight opponent to drop a big number on them. Even with Portland's high-scoring games, the total is low thanks to Kent State having played mostly low-scoring games. It's a lot lower thn it was when these same teams faced each other here 2 seasons ago. That game had a total of 148.5. Tonight's lower number is offering us excellent line value. I've got KSU getting 80+ and Portland adding the rest. Play on the over.
