TV Special 8:30 EDT: Robert Morris & Mt.St.Mary's Total
OVER 131
In looking this one over, the last time they met the total fell at 129. That game was a little iffy though as Robert Morris only attempted 4 threes. This is a team that has attempted 74 threes in their last 5 games. Yes, MTSM also held them to 11 attempts in January, but If they go more along their average of 15 or so, making about 35-40% - that's an additional 15-18 points in my estimates. That easily takes the total back closer to the 1st meeting that hit 147. Mt.St. Mary's D has been giving up over 40% from beyond the arc in their last 5 and Robert Morris must do better this time to advance. Mt.St.Mary's own offense has been good lately, 72.2 ppg in their last 5 shooting 48%. Game is in Robert Morris' gym. Watch the FT count here too. There were over 50 in the 1st meeting and about half that last time. Both are hitting around 70% from the stripe in their last 5, so a foul fest as always will be beneficial.
