Point Spread: 1.00 | 100.00 Valparaiso (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Valparaiso Crusaders.
Valparaiso stunned the St. Mary's Gaels in a 60-44 win in the NIT quarterfinals last week. It was the lowest point total of the year for a St. Mary's team that finished at the top of the WCC standings. The Crusaders will face the third place team from the WCC in the NIT semifinals, and I think the BYU Cougars are a little overrated coming into MSG. The Cougars just barely escaped with a home win over Creighton on Tuesday. The Crusaders don't mind playing away from home, boasting a road record of 12-4. One of those losses was a close game at Oregon, and impressive result considering the season the Ducks had.
Last week's impressive defensive effort against the Gaels shouldn't really be a surprise, as they've held opponents to an average of just 63.5 points on 38.9 percent shooting this season. That's 10 points less than the Cougars have given up, and opponents are shooting 42 percent against BYU. The Crusaders have been far better from the free throw line all season long, and they average over 75 percent at neutral sites. They also have an edge in rebounding, and I think this is going to create all sorts of problems for the Cougars.
Take VAL.
