Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons @ Youngstown State Penguins (Over) ..

After both of the regular season matchups that involved these two teams ended with the number exceeding the total, I believe that another high scoring affair here in the Conference Tournament. All season long, IPFW has been has been scoring tons of points. Averaging 81.2 PPG this season, as well as 10.4 3pt makes per game, the Mastodons are going to be a tough team to beat, even on the road today. Having said that, don't expect them to stop scoring here against another fast playing team.

Even though Youngstown State doesn't average as many points (77.2 PPG,) it plays just as fast as the Mastodons. Both teams rank in the top 70 in adjusted tempo via. KenPom and love to run the ball up and down the court. The Penguins are averaging 87.8 PPG over their past six home games as well.

Surprisingly, this o/u line is lower than the last time these two sides met up. We know these teams both love to play fast and we know that they can score. Don't expect the line change to have any factor on these two teams and their abilities to do just that. Hammer the "over."

Score Prediction: 87-81 Youngstown State.
