CBB | Auburn 64 @ Houston 81 | 03/18 | 11:10 PM UTC
OVER 131.5 -110
WIN
ANALYSIS: Houston did NOT look good against Northern Kentucky on Thursday night. With star guard Marcus Sasser's availability uncertain with a groin injury, the Tigers will be a trendy upset pick at a game played two hours from their campus in Birmingham. But I'm focused on the total here. Auburn's last 10 games have gone over this number and they have averaged 75.3 points per game in those contests. While I think Houston will still win a close one, I'd be surprised if the winner didn't reach 70, which makes this Over a good bet.
