UC Irvine heads north for this one, a neutral site but in the state of Idaho. They focus on defense first, on a 199-156 run UNDER the total. The UC Irvine Anteaters' offense shoots just 42% from the field, #263 in the nation, and they are abysmal from the free throw line (65.1%). Idaho is having a winning season with good defense, as the offense shoots just 42.3% from the field. Idaho is 18-7-1 UNDER the total in non-conference games, including 28-13 UNDER away from home under coach Don Verlin. And this shapes up as a contest with more defense than offense. Go with the UNDER.
