3* Alabama –2.5
S. Ill has the better record although they have played no games vs. top-10 or top-30. Alabama was 1-3 vs. top-10 and 2-8 vs. top-30. Alabama has played the much tougher schedule ranked 8th vs. 124th. Alabama has a high scoring average. S. Ill has the edge on scoring defense. However, the edge S. Ill. is from a better 3-pt. scoring defense. That edge is negated because S. Ill. is a poor shooting 3 pt. team. In the last 5 games Alabama has been playing solid defense.
2* St Joe –22.5
I don’t normally like playing big favorites. Always have to worry about the back door. Liberty is just happy to get to the dance. St Joe. will be out to prove they deserve the #1 seed. This game will be no contest. Liberty won’t score 50 points. St. Joe easily scores 80+
1* Nevada +2
Huge rebounding edge for Nevada. Defensive edge also goes to Nevada. Nevada beat Kansas and covered vs. Uconn at a neutral site.
