A pair of unbeaten teams clash as Northern Iowa takes on the No. 2 team in the country, Louisville. The oddsmakers have overcompensated for the defensive reputations of these teams. Northern Iowa just held North Dakota to 47 points, but the OVER is 8-2 in the Panthers’ last 10 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Northern Iowa has a slew of offensive weapons inside and out, led by big man Jake Koch and sophomore guard Deon Mitchell (17 points per game). They average 86.3 ppg and shoot .515% as a team. The OVER is 4-0 in the Panthers’ last four non-conference games. Louisville has plenty of offensive punch, as well, averaging 79.7 ppg and scoring 80 in each of their last two contests. Louisville crushed defensive-oriented Miami of Ohio in their last game, finishing 12 of 26 from the perimeter (46%) and eight of its first nine baskets were three-pointers. The OVER is 4-1 in Louisville's last five games following a win of more than 20 points, and the OVER is 7-3 in Northern Iowa's last 10 neutral-site games. Take the OVER in this one.
