My 10* 2ND RND NIT TOURNAMENT TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the under between Loyola Chicago and San Francisco at 7:00 EST. San Francisco enters this second-round NIT game at 25-9 overall, and 11-3 in non-conference play. The Dons are extremely adept at controlling the boards, ranked fourth in the WCC with 32.4. Tyrone Riley IV leads San Francisco with 6.0 boards per game. Loyola Chicago was 23-11 overall and 13-7 against conference opponents. These teams played this season. San Francisco won 76-66 at Loyola Chicago on December 15th and the total went over the posted number of 137 in that one. Now this Tourney total is quite a bit higher. And it's a bit too high now in my estimation. I'm thinking this game will be very competitive, but low-scoring overall, and so the play is on the under.
