Was looking for any imput on this total. I kinda think it will be a little over the 145 but I was looking for any one who knows better.

ive watched a good deal of acc hoops this year.

the first meeting- nc state completely controlled the tempo for the first 30:00 of the game. nc state is a weird team. theyve got tons of talent and great athletes, but sendeck still doesnt open up his offense. he works a ton of sets and isnt going to want to get into a track meet with maryland.

the first meeting in maryland- i believe the halftime score was like 29-26 or something. it was a REAL low scoring 1st half.

scoring picked up a little in the 2h, but i remember watching that game and making a note of how well ncsu controlled the tempo.

personally, im strong on nc state. would lean to the under, but not playing it

Thanks. I believe that if Maryland wants to win this game they need to score more then they did in the first meeting so you are probably right.

Thanks.

yep- this is truly a game of conflicting tempos.

maryland needs to establish their running game.
nc state needs to establish their halfcourt motion offense.

depends which theory you subscribe to. will it be nc state controlling the tempo, or will it be maryland?

tough call.

NC St. should control tempo on their own floor. The last five at NC state in this series have stayed below tonights number.

I capped the game at around 150. Gman is correct on first meeting. tempo was certainly favoring nc state and look where that got them. The total depends on nc state off %. If nc state shoots 76% from the field the over will hit............:thumb:

with that joke said I took the over and nc state thinking that is a good hedge.;)

if nc st controls tempo they have an excellent chance to cover.
looking for them to shoot well and cover both :D
