The Citadel at Iowa State

The Citadel Bulldogs and the Iowa State Cyclones will play to one of the highest posted totals of the young NCAA Basketball season as we see this one approaching the 190 mark. Right off the bat, looking at history, we can identify that these outlier high totals are generally difficult to take down as any total of greater than 175 has returned an UNDER mark of 18-11, failing to get to the total by an average of seven points per game. Perhaps more telling is in the 18 games where UNDER was the call, the total didn't get there by a stunning 22.92 points per game. Those are hard numbers to go against, regardless of how solid the offenses look. These games often fall well shy of getting there. Make the play on the UNDER in this one.
