Total Annihilation - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CBB Rotation #659 Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER the total in George Washington Colonials vs Massachusetts Minutemen @ 6 ET - This total may seem a little on the high side but note that UMass has seen all 5 of their games this season go over the total. The Minutemen are averaging 86.8 points per game but also allowing 81.8 points per game this season. Opponents are hitting 49.6% from the field and 40% from three point land against Massachusetts. That will spell trouble against a Colonials team that is averaging 75 points per game at home this season while connecting on 47.4% of their shots as a host. George Washington's issue here will be that, other than a big effort against a bad Fordham team, the Colonials have struggled on the defensive end and UMass continues to shoot the ball well and pile up big points as they play at a very fast pace. Look for end to end action throughout this one with plenty of points in transition. I like the fact that GW has allowed at least 73 points in each of their last two games but are taking on a team that has allowed 93 points in each of its last two games and yet is favored to win this game by 5. In other words, the road team that doesn't play defense is still favored to win this game and that is another sign pointing to a very high scoring match-up here as the odds makers are predicting this game to play out in favor of the Minutemen. That should mean a good pace and a ton of points. Look for this one to get into the 160s as a result. 10* OVER the total in George Washington
