Over
The totals are set at 137.5 with relatively balanced odds. Given the offensive capabilities of both teams and typical scoring in NCAA basketball, there is a slight inclination towards the game going over the set total.
The total line of 137.5 is consistently offered with perfectly balanced odds (1.91-1.93 for both Over and Under). This indicates the market sees no strong edge in either direction. Without additional team-specific offensive/defensive metrics or pace data, choosing a side is speculative. I'll lean slightly towards the Over, assuming a slightly higher-scoring game than expected due to potential offensive efficiency, but with low confidence.
Both teams have shown the ability to score efficiently, and the trends suggest a potential for a higher-scoring game, making the over a reasonable prediction.

Under
