Both regular season games went over the total. This total is lower than the lines for either of those games though. Hmmm. A closer examination reveals why that's the case. The early start time and the magnitude of the moment, may lead to some early jitters. That's not it though. Since the end of February, George Mason has cranked up its defense!

The Patriots defense has been getting better and better every time out. Four games ago, they allowed 61 points. Three games ago, they allowed 59 points. Two games ago? 51 points allowed. Then, last game, they held Richmond to just 46. The game had only 100 total points scored. The under is now 9-1 in George Mason's last 10 games played in March. This game goes under!
