Burns' Selection // Cal Poly Mustangs vs. UC Irvine Anteaters [Over] .

Coming off a big comeback win over UC Davis in the opening round, Cal Poly is filled with confidence. Yes, it's a double digit favorite this evening and its difficult to see it having much of a chance, the Mustangs are bucket getters, averaging 81.8 PPG this season which is top 25 in the country. I believe that they will be able to score once again here.

Now, the Mustangs defense isn't very good at all and UC Irvine did damage in each their matchups back in January. In the first game, the Anteaters scored 98. In the second matchup, they managed to crack the 100 mark by scoring 101. I believe that UC Irvine is going go 90+ again this evening in an absolute must-win game.

In the end, this game should be high scoring. I get that it's a tournament game and there will be early jitters. However, this total simply isn't high enough for the high scoring capabilities of both of these teams. Hammer the "over."

Score Prediction: 94-78 UC Irvine.
