This is a 10* NON-CONF. TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER George Washington/Maryland.

Both teams opened up their respective seasons with a victory. George Washington is 1-0 after holding on for a tight 75-72 win over St. Francis (PA), while Maryland opened with an 83-69 win over Quinnipiac.

Both of those totals flew OVER the posted number. I expect a tighter, lower-scoring game here though in their second contest.

Each team struggled at times with offensive consistency last season.

Maryland has seen the total go UNDER in seven of its last ten after a SU/ATS victory in which it scored 80 or more points in.

Let's not overreact to each team's big season opening win. This number is inflated now, the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
