There have not been a lot of wins on the season for Bucknell or St. Francis, PA. They have combined for just three. St. Francis has played up-tempo in their four games, and opponents are averaging over 80 points per contest against them. This has led to all four of their games eclipsing the total. Bucknell has also been up-tempo, with all of their opponents attempting 61 shots or more (around 70 per game), well above average. I don't see these teams slowing down here as each will feel they have a chance to win the game, and will take it to the opponent offensively. I look for this game to play OVER the posted total.
