Pennsylvania is second in the Ivy League in scoring (80.9 points per game) with a three-guard attack. As a team, the Quakers shoot over 40% from 3-point land. The defense, though, is allowing the second-most points (71.6 per game) in the conference, as well as the second-worst at defending beyond the arc allowing .341% shooting. Penn is 21-10 OVER the total after playing three straight non-conference tilts. Unbeaten Houston will run right at that soft defense behind guards L.J. Cryer (17 ppg) and Emanuel Sharp (13.9 ppg). With Penn 29-17 OVER the total against teams that make 14 or fewer turnovers per contest, look for a high-scoring affair. Play Penn/Houston OVER the total.
