Virginia/ Syracuse Under 113: Boy I can almost see the Orange being held in the 40s in this game by a very tough Virginia defense that is just getting stronger as they have allowed just 47.9 ppg in their last 7 games, holing 5 of those opponents to less than 50 points. This is a tough defense and Syracuse has had issues scoring of late, putting up just 60 ppg in their last 3 games. One area the Cuse has not had problems in this year has been their defense, especially at home where they have allowed just 59.2 ppg. and they are taking on a Virginia offense that has averaged just 62.4 ppg in their last 5 games. This should be an extremely slow paced game between two teams that place exceptional defense and facing a couple of struggling offenses. I look for 108 or less to be scored in this one.
BEST OF THE REST
Texas/ Baylor Under 129.5: The Bears have played some higher scoring games of late, but this will not be one of them as both of these teams have been excellent defensive teams this year. The Longhorns have struggled a bit on defense of late, but still they have allowed just 57.2 ppg on their home floor this year, while Baylor comes in allowing just 56.8 ppg in teir last 4 games and just 59.4 ppg overall. The Offenses have been better than average of late, but this game just has the feel of much more defense than offense and that should keep the scoring in the lower 120s here.
Oklahoma/ Iowa State Under 151
