Pacific at Long Beach State

There is a little deception at work in the total here as these teams fought out an 81-80 decision the last time they met, but it wasn't as high-scoring as it looked. The game went to OT where 31 points were scored. Pacific has played some sticky defense all season featuring five of their last eight opponents failing to score over 58 points, and seven of their last eight games going under the total. That also includes 7-0 to the UNDER in conference games. These tournament games have a tendency to play conservative and more defensive, and I like this one to go UNDER the total.
