These teams met twice during the regular season and the combined amount of points scored were 125 and 109 points, respectively. 

So why should the Over/Under be higher for this Big West Tournament game? The answer is it shouldn't.

This especially is true considering the site and setting. The tournament is being played at the massive Honda Center, which is better equipped for hockey. There also won't be any people in the stands. So the shooting atmosphere is going to be different on two important factors. 

UC Irvine is the top defensive team in the Big West. The Anteaters have held six of their last eight opponents to 64 or fewer points.
