Under 136.5 Florida V Ohio St.
-----
Both of these teams are powerhouse basketball squads, and while these two teams are slapping the bottom of the barrel in their respective out of conference schedules, this will be the test for both teams that analysts, handicappers and talking heads refer to when the schedule starts to tighten up. This game is one where last year Sullinger had 5 offensive rebounds and 5 defensive rebounds in a large ohio st victory. I think that State knows that this florida team is one which shoots the lights out, and with fresh legs in an early season, State really needs to use the entire shot clock while utilizing their height and size advantages down low.
Florida is very confident that they can hang with ohio state, and so is the betting public, but I honestly see this coming down to shot selection and talent level. The under is the right play here not only because the total is suspiciously low (considering their last score 93-75) but also because neither of these teams has played against a talented, athletic defense of tonight's caliber in at least 6 months. I think this is a game that starts very slow and continues to pick up, coming very close to the total in a similar fashion to UNC v Mich st on the boat. (and hey that was the SAME TOTAL!)
