The Princeton Tigers and Rutgers Scarlet Knights will face off in a non-conference game on Saturday in Newark. This game is part of the Never Forget Tribute Classic and will be played at the Prudential Center. Rutgers has lost the last two meetings and four of the last five between these two teams. Princeton won 68-61 on a neutral site in Trenton last year and is hoping for another upset win here. Rutgers is currently the favorite by 5.5 points, but our best bet of the game is the over. The total score is 152 points and we assume that it will be exceeded.

We like the over in this game because Rutgers plays at a fast pace and Princeton should have success on offense. According to KenPom, Rutgers ranks 70th in adjusted tempo and 47th in average offensive possession length. The Scarlet Knights also have two projected lottery picks in Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey that make their offense dangerous on any given night. Princeton ranks in the top half nationally in average offensive time of possession and is a good three-point shooting team. The Tigers rank 23rd nationally in three points given up, which should help surpass that total. In this case, take the lead.
