The Belmont Bruins opened the season with a dominant 95-78 win as a 15.5-point favorite against Howard while the George Mason Patriots just barely defeated a non D-I team in Queens NC, 66-65.

While the Bruins put up 95 points, there is still room for improvements as they shot only 27.3% from behind the arc. Bruins are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game and this line looks more than a little off to me.

8* play on Belmont.
