McNeese State vs. Clemson

McNeese St. will be making their fourth apppearance in the Big Dance, including each of the last two. The Cowboys lost to Gonzaga last year 86-65. That was a high flying Gonzaga offense that McNeese just couldn't hang with. They will take on Clemson with both teams entering the game at 27-6. Both these teams are similar in style, and McNeese games tallied on average 141 total points and Clemson 142. Another similarity is each team's top four scorers are all seniors, and both were in the tournament a year ago, so the experience level having been here, should hold off a lot of the early game jitters. I look for that to contribute to the production in this game being like their averages which are low 140s. Make the play OVER the total.
