The Richmond Spiders are off to a rather pedestrian 7-5 start during non-conference play, and six of their seven wins have come at home. A quick look at their schedule shows that they have yet to defeat any real contenders, and they face a dangerous opponent at home tonight. The Northeastern Huskies are coming off an overtime loss at St. Mary's, and they already have a pair of road wins this season, one of those at Florida State.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Sharp Shooting - The Huskies have a superior shooting percentage from beyond the arc (36.7%) as well as the free throw line (74.7%).

2. Battle On The Boards - The Huskies are a far better team when it comes to rebounding, with an edge in both RPG for and against.

3. X-Factor - The Spiders are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

Selection: This is a play on the Northeastern Huskies (10*)
