Northern Colorado has started the season with a 2-0 record. They have been electric on offense, shooting 53% from the field and 40% from deep. The 40% is legitimate, as the Bears are shooting 3-pointers at a high volume. They are making 15 threes a contest. Pepperdine likes to play fast, taking 68 shots per game, which is considerably above average, and connecting on 50% of those shots. This game appears to have several tendencies that suggest it will be a high-scoring affair. Northern Colorado, since the start of last season, has played 13-7 to the OVER when the total is posted in the 150s. Over the same period, Pepperdine is 12-4 to the over following a home game. Make the play OVER the total.

Pro Picks
Pepperdine at Northern Colorado
Some will be surprised to see Northern Colorado as a significant favorite over Pepperdine as both teams enter at 1-0 on the season. Pepperdine was an ugly 6-26 a year ago and lost some scoring punch to graduation from a team that averaged just 71 points per game. Northern Colorado finished with 25 wins last season but has lost some significant offense, and may need some time to develop continuity on the offensive end. Pepperdine coach Lorenzo Romar has slowed games down when he has been a big dog of +10 or more and has a record of 22-10 to the UNDER as a double-digit dog. Play on the UNDER.
