Line is 7.5 in favor of Syracuse. Total is 163.5
These two teams met earlier this season at the Carrier Dome where UMASS came out on top 107-100 in REGULATION. Seems like the 7.5 is a gift to give to a team like UMASS that has already beaten Syracuse and has covered 9 of 15 on the road. Both of SU's games in the NIT at home have gone above 160 with the Orange yielding 75 ppg while averaging 87.5 ppg. I can't see this game not playing out in the 80s or above and the game should be tight. UMASS has played to lower offensive totals lately, but I think with a team in Syracuse that will be more than happy to run & gun with them, points should be plentiful! Definitely like UMASS and the points and favor the OVER.
