High Point at Loyola Maryland

This total very, very high. Using UMBC and Americana as benchmarks the totals were 135 and 128. Given the fact that these 2 teams have no history of playing each other which will lead to tentativeness and reduced scoring the first part of the half, given that Loyola MD has struggled lately, and that High Point traditionally puts up mid 60's to low 70's max on the road, I don't see either team eclipsing 80. Even if Loyola MD does get 80, like they have done the last 3 home against teams they knew, it is hard for me to beleive that High Point will put up 78 in return. I see this game being a mid 70 to a high 60 type game and the game going well under. The lines for the Metro games have been inflated all year, and I think is no different this Friday evening. Three stars on UNDER here.
