334 Dartmouth 28 1513 54.0Thanks IE, that's a resource I hadn't thought about. Actually I was looking for something more general and/or an opinion. Like in football, I would consider a high total to be in the range of 57/58 or above and a low one to be around say 45 or below. I didn't really make myself clear enough...:toast:
Personally, I consider 120 on the low end and 155 on the high end. I like to look for those games that are outside of this range to see if there is a play.
For example, when there is a 113 o/u on a couple "defensive-minded" teams matching up in a conference game. It seems to me that the under is often a good play in this scenario. Obviously there are many more factors to consider before making a play, but these games catch my eye and it's where I start looking at totals.

Most college basketball totals are going to be in the 127 to 149 range, but will find run into numbers ranging from 110 to 170 on extremes...

That's about the same approach I use in CFB, the outer limit thing, just wasn't for sure what they would be in BBall. Nice to know someone is already doing that, Thanks DW.
