Northwestern had a lot of problems in their opener against Eastern Illinois at home. It wasn't the 17-point winning margin, it was the fact that they were limited to 72 points against an opponent that they had mismatches against all over the floor. That was in spite of the fact that they shot 10-21 from behind the arc. Stanford played a shootout vs. BYU, but against Bucknell they played a more traditional game, and I think that is what Northwestern brings to this game. BYU has shown to love the up tempo style, so I wouldn't consider that standard fare for this Stanford team, yet the total suggests otherwise. Northwestern is 11-5-1 to the UNDER in their last 17 going back to last year, and Stanford is 6-2 to the UNDER in their last eight vs. the Big-10. I just don't see this one getting there, so play on the UNDER.
