Full transparency, neither of these teams really pops off the page for me as a favorite in this basketball game. Having stated that, there is a clear bet to make in this matchup. That bet is the under of the game total of 129. The reason I like the under in this contest is crystal clear, both of these teams are two of the slowest teams in all of college basketball. In summary, I fully expect both of these basketball teams to continue to play at a snail's pace on Tuesday night. I am backing under 129 total points in this contest.
