Northern Iowa at Virginia Commonwealth

Bracketbuster weekend will launch into action when VCU plays host to Northern Iowa. These games have a tendency to be played a lot more loosely, as equal opponents square off. Escaping the rigors of conference play where they play some teams as many as three times a season and all their offensive tendencies are well known. Northern Iowa has always been known as a half-court offensive team that plays tight defense. That has not occurred in their eight bracketbuster games, as all eight have topped the total. Since game two of conference play VCU has not scored 70 points in a game and has allowed it just once. Looking outside the conference, they hit 70+ on five occasions as they simply play a different game. Play this one OVER the total.
