Stephen Nover's Basketball Classic Game of the Year
(NCAAB) Youngstown State vs. Fresno State,
Point Spread: 13.50 | -110.00 Youngstown State (Away)
Result: Win
Often the best line value comes in the minor postseason basketball tournaments rather than the NCAA Tournament. That's the case in this quarterfinal matchup in The Basketball Classic.

Fresno State should not be this large of a favorite. The Bulldogs are just 4-7 in their last 11 games. They are 0-5 ATS the past five times as home chalk and 2-8 ATS the last 10 times facing an above .500 foe.

Youngstown State is a prideful and competitive team bidding to win its 20th game of the season. That would tie the Penguins' school record for most Division I victories in a season matching their 1997-98 team.

The Penguins average seven points more per game than the Bulldogs.

Expect a competitive match up here and not a blowout.
