10* FIRST ROUND NCAA TOURNEY GAME OF YEAR (86%!)
(NCAAB) Mavericks (NEOM) vs. Red Storm (SJU),
Point Spread: 19.00 | -110.00 Mavericks (NEOM) (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* FIRST ROUND NCAA TOURNEY GOY on Nebraska Omaha.

We have a big number here, and it's a little TOO big for the Red Storm to cover in my opinion.

I'm not calling for an outright upset, but everything points to a comfortable cover for Nebraska Omaha in my opinion.

All eyes are on Rick Pitino's club in this matchup, but I think the Summit regular-season and Conference Tournament Champ Nebraska Omaha has what it takes to hang around and make this one interesting.

What the Mavericks lack in size, they make up for in outside shooting, depth and veteran leadership. Note that when they hit 39 percent or more from ranger, they're 12-1.

The Red Storm are poor from the three-point line and the charity stripe as well.

St. John's wins with its defense, but the Mavericks aren't prone to tuning the ball over a lot.

I think St. John's has what it takes to make it out of the first round, but not to come close in covering this massive spread.

Grab the points, the play is NEBRASKA OMAHA.

Good luck, NP
