Chip's NIT Power Play Winner
(NCAAB) St. Mary's vs. Valparaiso,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -106.00 Valparaiso (Home)
Result: Win
St. Mary's at Valparaiso 7:00 ET
Crusaders over Gaels- Many believe St. Mary's belongs in the 'other' tournament as they have beaten Sweet-16 combatant Gonzaga twice winning the West Coast regular season championship and currently own a school record 29 wins. Valparaiso on the other hand are 31-2 at home the past two seasons and 16-1 this year with their lone loss in early February. The Crusaders have won seven of their last eight facing a Gaels club that doesn't have a senior on their roster. Lack of experience and on the road is too much to overcome here. Take VALPARAISO!
