This is a 10* NIT TOP COMMUNITY TOTAL on the OVER WKU/St. Mary's.

WKU was 20-7 overall this year and 11-3 in Conference USA play.

The Hilltoppers were the regular season champion, but they fell 61-57 in OT to UNT in the Conference Championship game.

Saint Mary's was 14-9 overall and 4-6 in West Coast Conference action. The Gaels were blown away by Gonzaga 78-55 in the second round of the Conference Tournament.

These two teams don't allow a lot of points, but in this conference atmosphere, we're expecting a much more wide-open and ultimately higher-scoring contest than what this O/U line is suggesting.

Note that WKU has seen the total go OVER in eight of its last 11 neutral site affairs as well.

This number is a little low, the play is the over.

Good luck, NP
