This game should be as about as interesting as watching paint dry, but we will have an interest in the result. The one thing that is certain about this game is that points will be at a premium. Both of these teams play methodically on offense, and neither has the firepower to string together big runs. Brown's games to date have seen on average 80 shots taken by both teams, and Northwestern's games about 92. Now you have two teams instead of one that are content to run their offense through the shot clock, and 80 shots in this game may be the absolute maximum. If you have a team attempting 40 shots, and giving the opponet 9.5 points, your really asking them a lot. This game could easily be played around 50 as the oddsmakers suggest and very well could end up in the 40s, so the pointspread is over 20% of the potential winning score in this one. This plays nicely into a winning system, and we will back the Ivy Leaguers.
