This is one of those under the radar type games , but features two pretty talented teams. I do realize going in that I do have a Belmont Bruin fetish, but I can't help it because they made me a lot of coin last year.
Belmont slipped into the NIT last year and held their own against some pretty damned good teams. think they beat Mizzou if my aging memory serves correct and went toe to toe with Memphis. The bruins have 10 back from last years squad,
St Marys is also an improving team and also fared well against some pretty tough competition. The Gaels have all five starters back including a very nice senior back-court tandem.
The line just jumped to - 11 on the Gaels, and I think that that number is a bit high, as Belmont just always seems to find a way to hang around and cover a lot of numbers. I really do like the total a bit more in this tilt, as I respect the experience of both teams, and expect both to run their offenses without excessive signs of rust tonight.
Treading lightly for the first couple of weeks
Belmont + 11 1/2 unit
Belmont over 133' 1 unit
