TCU and Georgia Tech are both coming off efficient offensive performances in their NIT semifinal games, and moderately similar results should send the total Over with ease when they meet in the finale Thursday night. The Frogs had 20 assists on 26 field goals and used a hot-shooting second half to down Central Florida, while the Jackets got out in transition to offset limited firepower in their win over Cal Bakersfield. I think both clubs are better in an up-tempo setting, and they will play at a pace that clips this meager total.

The Yellow Jackets have held five straight opponents under 40 percent shooting entering Thursday's NIT championship game against TCU. I'll gladly take the points. Georgia Tech has covered six of its last seven as an underdog, and 14 of its last 17 versus winning teams.
