1*Holy Cross Crusaders +4.5
Lafayette swept the regular season match ups, and I'm a big believer that it's really hard to beat a team three times in the same season. Especially when it's two teams that aren't separated by a ton of talent. Lafayettes offense is awful. I expect Coach Paulsen to play quite a bit of zone tonight, forcing Lafayette to make jump shots, which they don't do. The Crusaders offense isn't much better, but getting 4.5 points in a tournament game like this, I can back them.
1* Miami OH Redhawks -7.5
I may have picked Toledo to win this game, had they Miami not got the scare that they did from Western. I think that was a shock to the system, and woke them up for their Senior night. And they have a bunch of them. Anytime this year Toledo has played anyone with more talent than them, they've lost, and not really even looked great. Down year for the Rockets, and the Redhawks get one step closer to history, in blowout fashion.
1* Richmond Spiders +5.5
Dayton is the hottest team in the A10 right now, but they are in a BAD spot. Coming off wins vs SLU and @ GW, they go to Richmond for their senior night, and then host VCU. Richmond is coming off a terrible loss @ Loyola. The Spiders can stay in the game with their offense, but their defense is going to need to play well, and I think they get up for this one tonight given all the circumstances.
1* Northeastern Huskies +3.5
This is likely the end of an era at Northeastern. Bill Cohen has been there for 19 seasons. And I think this is the last one. If that is the case, this will be his final game at the Cabot Center. His team has lost 11 in a row. They win one for the Gipper tonight.
1*Xavier Musketeers +1.5
Seton Hall is in a bad spot. They had UCONN on the ropes and let them off the hook, and host St. Johns next for their senior night. Xavier is coming off a win and has their senior night this evening. Xavier has been so much better at home, than on the road, so I think the wrong team is favored.
1* Texas AM Aggies -1.5
Kentucky has Florida next @ Rupp. They don't give two shits about tonights game. AM needs this win much more, on their home floor, for their seniors last home game.
