And if 60 points win the game, UVA is likely advancing. They are efficient on offense because they are methodical to find the right shot. If they are coming from behind, they become less efficient because they need points instead of waiting for points. You want the game to be in the 75+ range

I don't know that I agree. In their conference losses this year they averaged 56 points (in regulation).

If you play a low and slow game where the first to 60 wins, there is no plausible reason to believe UNCW wins that. UVA wants that type of game and if you give it to them or are forced to play that style, I just dont see UNCW coming out on top.

They average 66 scored for the season, so 10 points less and they lose...But you are ignoring the defense it takes to hold UVA that low. UNCW doesnt have that type of defense, no offense. Running and gunning to get them out of their rhythm early is the gameplan for victory. Or just shoot crazy lights out, but I wouldnt ever bet on that either.
