Vegas thinks our game is a toss up ...We are favored by 43.5 points. Toss up for gamblers. Not sure if we can cover that many points.

Based on expectations there is not much upside to this game but plenty of downside.  Stanford will have to play near perfect basketball to avoid criticism.  Teams rarely play near perfect basketball.

I don't bet.  It I did bet I would go big on Sacred Heart and take the points.  Even if Stanford were to somehow get close to that margin during the game the bench will get emptied.

That would be my thought as well.  If I were to bet, I wouldn't give that many points on a Stanford game.  The team is capable of a blowout like this, but a closer game with a win by 20ish points seems more likely.  And nothing is ever certain.

Sacred Heart's net ranking is 1 point higher than Cal Poly's, whom we beat by 37.  So that's the over/under margin I'm looking at.

But the more interesting over/under is how many 3s Jump will shoot.  She had 8 in the 1st two games last NCAA tournament (5 in the first game).  It'll depend on how many minutes she plays, but I'll put the over-under for Jump 3s at 4.5.
