T.M. Selection: NJIT/Vermont OVER.

I am on the over in the NJIT vs Vermont game on Sunday. NJIT hasn't looked good in their games lately with 4 losses in a row to end their year but they have been putting up more points in their games near the end of the regular season there. In their 2 most recent games, they put up 60+ points in both games which isn't a lot but it's a lot for them with the way they have played this year. They don't score a ton of points in their games but they have been scoring more now and their defensive effort has been really bad in their games too. They have given up 80+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to continue to do so in this game since that has been a common theme for them this year. I think they are going to give up a ton of points here but with their offense playing better and this being a tournament game, I expect NJIT to give their best effort here and put up as many points as they can to keep up in this game. Vermont can score a ton of points in their games and both times that NJIT faced Vermont this year, they lost and gave up 80+ points in both games, even giving up 90+ points in the road game. This is a another road game for them too and I expect there to be a lot of points again. Vermont dominated this conference this year winning 17/18 games in conference play. They finished the year winning 5 games in a row and they have been putting up 70+ points in most of their games. They have been putting up a lot more points in their home games though and when they have been on their home court they usually score in the high 70's or 80+ points. I expect this to be another game where they put up a ton of points on NJIT again but I think NJIT will play a bit harder and put up more points to try and keep up. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 80-65 Vermont.
