Recap:
Winner. Finally. It was easy in the second half. A little dodgy first half with both teams getting hot from three in the middle of it but it slowed down in the end. It really should have been easy the whole way through because the first half was also really slow and had some solid defense. It really was only a couple minutes of three’s and then three fouls on three point attempts that didn’t make it the best under ever. Outside of that it was easy. I would have really lost my shit if it lost because it was really solid with the pace and defense. It was a pretty easy second half after the first five minutes only having eleven points. It was never a sweat down the stretch and thankfully State held the lead to kill off the opportunity of overtime. It ended at 124 and it honestly shouldn’t even have been that high. A perfect under. I would love another one of these tomorrow.

Groundbreaking Analysis:
Staying with college. I am leaving my Lakers alone and going to West Coast College Basketball. Saint Mary’s is going to win this game and Portland isn’t going to do shit. I also think Saint Mary’s might not score as many points as expected. I think this is a look ahead spot for their offense as they face Gonzaga this weekend. Saint Mary’s offense hasn’t been great recently and I can see them staying below 80. I simply just think this line is too high. They have already played this season and that game ended at 139. Which means I would have lost this bet but if you dive deeper into the stats that shouldn’t happen again. Portland scored a lot in garbage time and players on both teams shot above their average from deep. We also had a lot of fouls and I don’t think that it will be as bad this time around. Even with all of that it barely got to 139. We are going to get a dominant slow paced Saint Mary’s victory and we are going to get this under. Saint Mary’s also isn’t comfortably in the tourney so they do still have to try on defense. Give me this under. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🏴
