The set-up: The IUPUI Jags have lost four in a row and reside in the basement of the Horizon League, while NKU has won four straight and is looking to lock down the top spot in the conference. The Jags are in a tough conference no doubt, coming in averaging 70 PPG. Northern Kentucky is vastly superior on both ends of the court, but note that it allows just 65 PPG, including ranking 12th in 3-point percentage allowed at under 29 percent.

The pick: In fact the Norse have allowed just 70 or more points just once during their recent four-game win streak. The Jags only allow 71 PPG this year, so when you add it all up, I do indeed believe that this total is much too high.

9* BLOWOUT TOTAL on the UNDER IUPUI/Northern Kentucky.
