N.C. State has gone UNDER by an average of 13.8 points its past two games while holding Marquette and Duke to 32.8 percent shooting. The Wolfpack used only seven players against the Blue Devils, who went 5-for-20 from 3-point range while DJ Burns Jr. (29 points) and DJ Horne (20 points) were the only scorers in double figures for the Wolfpack. Burns may be the one person in the country who can somewhat contain Zach Edey and N.C. State has an experienced squad that allows 72.0 points per game and a .434 field goal percentage. Purdue allows 69.4 points and 41.7 percent shooting and it was No. 2 in the Big Ten in 3-point defense allowing just 31.7 percent although most of N.C. State's scoring comes from inside. Only a combined 48 points were scored in the first half against Duke and Marquette scored just 24 before intermission. The Boilermakers have also stayed UNDER their past two games and by an average of 8.8 points and they held Tennessee to 39 percent shooting. Take the first half UNDER and the full game to stay UNDER as my Final Four Game of the Year Max Play.
