I'm on the Over of 134 in this matchup of Duke vs Houston, for these reasons:

- We just seen both teams score over 90 points last tournament round.

- Houstons defense can be had, as we saw vs Texas A&M scoring 95 points, who this season have shot 39% from the field, 27% from deep, and 70% from the free-throw. Duke are much better, shooting 48% from the field, 38% from deep, and 72% from the charity stripe.

- Texas A&M shot 45 Freethrows in that game. That's not a good thing heading into a matchup with Duke who average atleast 20 free-throws per game.

- This is the 3rd lowest total of a game for Duke in their last 10 games. Most of those games for Duke closed at 146 or higher.

- 3pt shooting. A weakness of the Houston team that Duke will exploit (Duke have the 13th best three point shooting in the league), knowing that the slower the pace is for this Game, the more likely that Houston will maintain control.

Official Play: Over 134

Side Bet: Duke +4
