Bet on College Basketball for Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Who We Like: BYU has a defense that can be tough to deal with. The Cougars actually have better numbers on the road when it comes to defense, allowing just 65 points per game. BYU has managed to go on the road and cover against a team like Gonzaga. I think the Cougars’ defense will give problems to Stanford. The Cardinal aren’t very solid on defense, allowing 77.6 per game over their last five games. I don’t think that will get the job done tonight against a team focused on keeping the game low-scoring.
NIT TOURNAMENT PREDICTIONS: BYU +2.5
