I'm positive I'm not the only one to pick up on this.
I'm aware that several of our basketball savants here either wager on or pay attention to game totals.
The 2H *over* totals have been covering at an alarming rate for the past few months.
I don't feel ike cracking open Excel, so I'll fact-check myself on this later, but by 'covering at an alarming rate' I would estimate that at least 60 percent of the 2H totals have gone over the posted number, two-thirds is a bit of a stretch, it wouldn't shock me, however, if it's 62 - 64 percent.
To my point.
Of the 14 games so far today, only the SDSU/USU and the Harvard game failed to reach 70 2H points.
(I don't believe that Harvard has played a game with 70 combined points in any half since your pal Nasher had a full set of hair, when the Triceratops grazed in my daddy's backyard for plants and grass, that game is hardly what you classify as an 'one-off.'
The 2H totals from the other twelve games were all 70+ combined, most of those being mid to upper 70's.
Both the Fla and the Howard games saw 84 total 2H points. That Arky game had 110 total 2H points (25 in OT, but still)
Of the fourteen aforementioned games, throwing out the two lows (SDSU and Harvard) and the two highs (The Arky and Howard games), and using just the ten 'middle' games, that works out to a ten-game average of (rounding up 76 points)
