One more total: NC St./Maryland 150

Based on my projections, Arizona/Stanford under is the strongest play. I think the key here is how much full court pressure Arizona uses. They hadn't been using it as much as they wanted to, so I feel good about the under there. Stanford certainly won't run like Kansas did.

According to my projections, NC St/Maryland is about right but matchup wise I can see an under. NC State relies heavily on the 3, and they are on the road facing a Maryland team who defends the 3 as good as anyone in the country.

The Butler/Duke game should be entertaining. I believe this game means far more to Butler, who is searching for national respect. I think you either have to take the pts or pass.

valuist are the projections for thursday final or will you tinker with the totals some more?

 

[Valuist]

The projections are pure numbers. When I make them, I don't say "well this team is athletic so it has to go over". If they are really athletic, then it will be reflected in the numbers. I believe you have to make the distinction between conference games and non-conference games as the n/c games tend to be higher scoring, therefore inflating the numbers in most cases.

Do you have a total projection for NC State ?
