I gave a
to Frosty's Elon play earlier...Elon is the only team in the Southern Conference to play competitively vs Davidson, and they should absolutely meet again in the Conference final. Where Davidson should handle them easily. Southern Conference: It's Davidson, and everybody else. Getting points is a steal here, and I can't imagine why they are, so only a single unit. Elon +3, 1u.
7PM: American East Semi's: #4 Albany vs #1 Stony Brook -4.5 - Much like Davidson in the Southern Conference, Stony Brook stands alone in the American East. The Tournament is being held in Albany's gym, so Albany is probably getting some benefit of the doubt here with the line, but it's undeserved. I'm not playing UMBC/Vermont, because I think the Catamounts can win while saving as much energy as possible, which they'll need they'll need to compete with Stony Brook in the Title Game. With Hartford out (courtesy of UMBC), and Boston ineligible, Stony Brook has a relatively easy path to the dance. Have to take advantage of this short line, courtesy of the home court thing. Stony Brook by double-digits, easy. Stony Brook, 2u.
7:30 PM: Summit League Semi's: #5 IPFW vs #4 Oakland -3.5 - This is a weird one. Although they are seeded 4th and 5th, there's big difference between Oakland and IPFW. Oakland has it in them to win this Tournament, IPFW is not a contender against the conference heavies...HOWEVER, they've played Oakland twice in the past 6 days and beaten them both times, 77-71 at home, and 74-72 away...3 in a row is asking too much. Oakland -3.5, 1u.
Good Luck!
