153? Huh?
Both Providence and Syracuse have been offensive machines. Both teams appear to be high scoring due to their relatively easy schedules. Providence's opponents allow 24 points/100 possessions more than the NCAAB average (excluding games with Providence). Syracuse's schedule isn't quite as ridiculous -- their opponents are only 19 points/100 possessions worse than the NCAAB average (again, excluding games with Syracuse).
Both teams have pretty good defenses. Past scoring is not a great predictor when you have such screwy SOS ratings.
This total is WAY off. I'd consider it a very good play on the under, down as low as 148.
