IU Indy Jaguars vs. Butler Bulldogs Prediction

I’m rolling with the over here. I just think IU Indy’s profile this season is going to be the team that’s involved in high scoring and fast paced games, and it’ll just be a matter of whether they keep up or not. This is bordering on an NBA total in this game, but I think it’s justified as Butler looked good in their debut and I think they’ll score in bunches here as well. Give me the over.
