Toledo vs. Jacksonville State Prediction

I’m on the over here. I lean towards Toledo, but I think the over is just the stronger play with how solid both of these offenses are. Toledo can get a lot of open looks in the half-court, and Jacksonville State gets a lot of buckets inside and can hit their free throws as well. I think we could see both teams in the high-70s at the very least here. Give me the over.
