Northern Arizona guard Aaseem Dixon (1) goes up for a shot against Xavier forward Sean O’Mara (54) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game, Friday, Nov. 14, 2014, in Cincinnati. Xavier won 90-63.

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

New Jersey Institute of Technology at Northern Arizona in the CollegeInsider.com semifinals, Total Over 143: $440 to win $400 All the trends point to the total over in this game.

The New Jersey Institute of Technology has scored 78 points in four of its past five games and plays an up-tempo style of basketball. It has surrendered more than 70 points in each of its CollegeInsider.com tournament games, including 77 twice. Northern Arizona has scored at least 73 points in all three of its tournament games.

At this stage of the tournament, where two victories wins the championship, the team that is trailing at the end of the game will surely foul to extend the game and create more possessions. Late free throws will help push this game over the points total.

Standings: Keefer (71-71-2, $10,007), Bern (71-66-1, $9,646), Brewer (63-76-3, $2,725)
