IU Indy vs. Wright State Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I know in these tournament settings, sometimes the games can be a bit lower-scoring as neither team wants to be the one to make the first mistake and be the first one to blink. However, the two meetings this season saw totals of 164 and 175 points, and I’m not sure I trust Wright State to cover this number but I also don’t know if IU Indy can keep it somewhat close for a full 40 minutes. I think that the over is the better play though as I’m expecting a higher-scoring clash so give me the over here.
