My 10* NORTHEAST TOURNAMENT TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the under between St. Francis PA and Central Connecticut at 7:00 EST. St. Francis and Central Connecticut meet for the Northeast Final here. St. Francis won 71-68 over Long Island last time out, and while that total flew "over" the number, I'm anticipating a much more defensive battle in the Championship game. Central Connecticut State beat FDU 76-72 in OT to advance to the Championship game, as both of its opening contests also flew above the posted number. St. Francis caught fire a few weeks ago, but Central Connecticut has led the conference most of the season. The Blue Devils are fantastic on the defensive end this season, conceding just 63.4 PPG. Can the Blue Devils cover this spread?! Perhaps. But then again, perhaps not. Central Connecticut won both games in the regular season, with one going under the number and one going over. I'm expecting a defensive battle in the finale, though, so the play is the under.
