kansas/texas over 141.5

*definitely a square play, but im not gonna 2nd guess myself. have hit 10 of 11 totals so just gonna trust my capping here, even if the line is shady

*i think both defenses are gonna be a little weak as a result of their respective hard-fought games on saturday. this is where individual philosophy comes into play- kinda like nba back-to-backs. to tired legs make for terrible shooting?.....or do they make for half-ass defense? im of the belief that the latter will be the case here.

*recent meetings in kansas have all been up-tempo games, but in austin, #s havent been as high. thats a concern, and of course it must be noted that self doesnt want to push the ball quite as much as the williams-led jayhawks. still think texas is gonna try and run though. their style hasnt changed overnight and i think their lower scoring games have been a byproduct of their defense, not their pace

*kansas is a weird team. they dont have dead-eye shooters like theyve had in the past, but i dont think texas is gonna sit in a zone all night because jayhawks have shooters capable of knocking down shots.

over for me, no matter how popular it is

gman I usually go with you on the totals, but this one I have pegged as under, Tex only avg 131 points in their last 11, Kansas avg 141 in their last 12, now I am going to have to take a second look at it.

u got a lean on the side?

i gotta lean kansas.
at some point, texas' poor free throw shooting is going to catch up with them, and i think its hard to lay a good amount of chalk to a solid opponent if you cant know down free throws. kansas not what theyve been in the past, but theyre not a shit team.

horns have shot some abysmal percentages from the line in their L3 games:

14-21 (66%)
16-28 (57%)
10-17 (59%)

those #s of course dont help my over play, i just think the pace will be enough to compensate for the missed FTs. but i really dont see this being a blowout at all.

===============================

c20916:

trust your numbers if you got it capped as an under. i could be dead wrong and this one could be played in the 60s. personally, i dont see it but omniscient i am not. ;)

Thought I'd throw in my two cents worth on the total.

I came up with 144 on the low end, a stronger 149 number. If you throw out Oklahoma's 37 pts @ Texas 2 weeks ago, both teams are avg. around 74 pts on off & defense recently.

Tough call, would lean over.
