Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Boo Buie / Over Points / 20.5 at -110 / 70% / Buie’s high usage rate (28%) and scoring average of 18.2 PPG in early 2025 games, against Boston U’s porous perimeter defense allowing 25% from three, make the over highly probable.

Player Prop #2: Ty Berry / Over Rebounds / 5.5 at -115 / 65% / Berry’s 6.1 RPG average and Northwestern’s rebounding edge (52% offensive rebound rate) exploit Boston U’s weakness in defensive rebounding (45%).

Player Prop #3: Hason Ward / Under Points / 8.5 at -105 / 72% / Ward’s limited role off the bench (7.2 PPG) faces Northwestern’s strong interior defense (top-100 blocks per game), projecting under in a controlled matchup.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Northwestern, aligning with money distribution and sharp consensus, making a follow play optimal rather than a fade. Simulations confirm the favorite’s dominance, with no major injuries impacting lineups as of 2025-11-07. The game outlook points to moderate scoring, with Northwestern’s efficiency pushing toward the over but defenses keeping it close to the total.
