charlotte shoots 40%
umass shoots 42%

both teams hold their opponents to 40% shooting.

both teams shoot under 65% from the free throw line.

umass likes to shoot quicker and move the ball up and down the court. therefore charlotte will try to neutralize this by slowing the action down a bit.

this is also evident when you look at their recent matchups. 3-0 on the under and the highest score was 130 points. umass averaged just 54 shot attempts the last 2 times they played. umass like to get around 65-70 shot attempts per game.

In charlotte's last game, vs st joe's, they held stjoes's to 52 points. STJ was averaging nearly 75 ppg and coming off an 84 point game.

obviously anything could happen, they may not coach the way they should, it may go to overtime, and the teams may shoot lights out.

but IMO, all the evidence supports an easy under 146
