After a horrid Sunday I bounced back with a 3-0 showing last night. Let's keep it going tonight. I know I have a couple of Over plays on this card. No I don't have a fever. LOL. BOL everyone.

3 UNIT PLAYS
Auburn/ Missouri Under 136: Earlier in the year the teams put up 164 points, but that game was at Auburn and now the scene shifts to Missouri, where their home games have averaged just 128 ppg on the year. The Auburn Tigers are a solid offensive team at home, but on the road they have averaged just 60.3 ppg. Missouri has struggled offensively all year and have averaged just 63.5 ppg at home and just 60.8 ppg in their last 5 overall. Neither defense is great, these teams are two of the worst shooting teams in the league, including from long range and at the charity stripe. Missouri will slow the pace at home meaning two bad shooting teams will not have as many chances to score here, which should keep this game from reaching the 130s at all.
Georgia Tech/ North Carolina Under 139.5: I know that the Heels play uptempo and they score a bunch, plus they also give up a bunch, but really can the Jackets score enough here to put this game over the total? I don't think so. The Jackets have been an offensively challenged team all year and at home they will really look to slow the pace. The Jackets have averaged just 63.4 ppg on their home floor, while in their last 5 overall they have scored just 58 ppg. Defensively this has been a solid team, as they come in allowing just 59.7 ppg on their home floor, while giving up just 64 ppg in their last 5 games. The Jackets can not run with this team or they will get blown out. Their offense is very weak right now and their defense, plus the pace of the game, will do enough to keep this one in the lower 130s.
BEST OF THE REST
Kentucky/ Georgia Over 126.5: Earlier in the year the Cats were not a good offensive team, but they have recently picked up the pace and it has resulted in the team averaging 82.4 ppg in their last 5 games. The Bulldogs have been a decent offensive team at home this year where they have averaged 70.1 ppg on the year. Both teams have played good defense this year, but I feel that the offenses will get the better of it tonight and put this game into the 130s.
Florida/ Texas A&M Over 122.5: The Gators have had some scoring issues of late but they will have Dorian Finney-Smith back for this one and that will help the offense for sure, especially vs a Texas A&M team that has allowed 65.7 ppg on the road this year. Yes the Gators have been very good on defense this year, but the Aggies have been a decent offensive squad this year and they have averaged 69.7 ppg in their last 7 SEC road games. This game also has the feel of one that will either have a foul fest at the end or it could very well end up in OT. Both teams need this game badly and the team that is down will really try an extend the game in the end. This one should flirt with 130 points.
