Rice at Florida International

These teams have played to almost identical records for the season. Florida International has played fast and furious and has been 6-2 to the over in its last 8 games. They have resolved their early-season shooting woes. They went 9 straight games without shooting 50% or better but have now topped that mark in 3 of their last 5. Rice has played to a total of better than 145 in 4 of their last 9 games and has proven to be a reliable over team when the total is above average, as they have gone over the total in 3 of the 4 games. The average points scored in those 4 games has been 159 total points. This one has a lot of offensive potential and I will ride with the OVER in this one.
