The PLAY: Total Over 157.5 (-112)
Texas/NC State Over 157.5 makes sense because everything about this matchup points to another high‑possession, high‑efficiency shootout, just like the 199‑point meeting earlier in the season. NC State comes in with a top‑20 offense nationally and sits 86th in pace, and their last nine regulation games have averaged 163.1 points, driven by a defense that has given up 85.7 ppg over that stretch. Texas mirrors that profile almost exactly—their last seven regulation games have averaged 161.6 points, and they’ve allowed 84.6 ppg during that run. Both teams rank top‑20 in adjusted offensive efficiency on KenPom, and neither is inside the top 80 defensively, which is why they’re in Dayton instead of the main bracket. TeamRankings shows both clubs with elite effective‑field‑goal numbers (NC State 55.3%, Texas 54.2%) and strong free‑throw rates, which matter in a tight First Four game where whistles pick up late. With two offenses that score in bunches, two defenses that have been leaking points for weeks, and a proven history of this matchup exploding, Over 157.5 is the right side.
