Western Kentucky vs. Utah, Total Over 139.5, $770 to win $700: If Western Kentucky can dictate the pace of the play — which it should — this National Invitational Tournament semifinal game will easily go over the points total. Western Kentucky plays at a fast pace, scoring 92, 79 and 79 in its previous three NIT games.
Utah, however, is more deliberate in its offensive approach. It scores just 73.8 points per game, which ranks 178th nationally out of more than 300 teams. More troubling for total-over backers is Utah only surrenders 68 points per game, which means Western Kentucky could find scoring difficult.
The game is expected to be closely contested, which favors the points total over because there could be fouls at the end to extend the game.
Current Standings: Granger (17-15, $11,759), Keefer (29-23-1, $11,346), Brewer (24-23-1, $8,500), Grimala (13-19, $5,565)
