Not sure....maybe so many people getting sticker shot at such a high college hoops total and loading up on the under......regardless, dropping six points in less than two hours caught my eye too when i logged on the get updated odds......it'll make watching the even more intriguing......i dont want to sound ignorant of big south hoops, but why is the total so high anyway?

So, Winthrop is also a 21.5-point favorite. What exactly would the final score be should winthrop cover and the over hit. I feel like the experts are trying to tell us something here, but not sure what.

Any betting thoughts on this one?

I took the Over at 181 1/2.

3 out of last 5 games for VMI were...

114-107
118-108
109-92

I don't know anything about these teams. I just played based on the line dropping and really, just the fact it was so high in the first place.

I made a small play on the over 178.5 right before tipoff.....very curious to see how it turns out.......at the very least, gotta love march madness for putting a game like this in the spotlight.

Good luck

Considering VMI is the sixth seed, hopefully Winthrop has 115 points in their bag!

Slow start to the game, then the pace picked up and settled in at low 150-point pace. But in the last two minutes of clock both teams threw some haymakers and now we're on pace for right around 170 points.

35-31 Winthrop 4:30 to go first half.

Lets get a scoring run before half boys!!!

We're on 158-point pace at the half. Not good!

Can VMI, the 20-point underdog, play cinderella against everybody's trendy cinderella, and sneak this game into overtime?

We could use the additional five minutes.

Touchdown Jesus.....you're not the only one stuck on this game.....i got the second half over, just another small play, though.

Love this time of year!

Good luck!!

Horrible last play. 9 seconds and end up with a forced 25-foot air ball for the tie.

A good look at a 3 and a make, and I win at least 2 bets. This game killed me.

BTW, did anyone see VMI get a weird 3-point play on their next to last possession.

I can only assume they had the wrong score to begin with. It was 84-78. VMI hit a layup and score became, and stayed, 84-81. I have to believe it was right or someone would have caught it, but no one said anything.
