Can anyone tell me why they would bet UTEP -9 or -8.5 and/or the
over 134?

Game 2 was under and UTEP won by 7. Game 3 would be tighter, since it
is the final. Lower scoring, closer game.

I am going OSU +8.5 and under 134. See no reason to go any other way.

how about OSU deflated? had their shot...complete gift in game 1, should have lost. now they have to win game 3 in a hostile arena where the home team plays VERY WELL and has yet to put a real good game together in this series. plus UTEP shooting 20% from beyond the arc, low 40s overall...yet OSU shooting the lights out (50%-60%) and still lost game 2, barely won game 1. this smells like Baylor against PSU to me. Baylor came in shooting the lights out, they came back to earth and boom. just my opinion. i probably will leave the game alone. i have no strong feelings, just can see how UTEP wins going away tonight.

I am taking either Utep or the 1st Half under.

OSU has been shooting over 60% in the 1st half of these games, I don't see that happening again.

UTEP won the second half by 12 points Wednesday once they realized they played a shitty first half. No shitty first half tonight, means UTEP covers easily tonight. This isn't the NIT on a neutral court. The home court is big tonight.
