T.M. Selection: Florida Gulf Coast.

I like Florida Gulf Coast to cover the spread against North Alabama in this game on Tuesday. Florida Gulf Coast has won 2 games in a row to finish the regular season and they were 1 of the better teams in their conference this year. They are going to have home advantage in this game to start off their Atlantic Sun Tournament and I think they should destroy North Alabama in this game. Florida Gulf Coast has been getting very hot to end the regular season and they ended their year with 2 big wins over the 2 teams that finished higher than they did in their division. I think they are going to have a lot of momentum from those games and I expect them to come out with a lot energy in this game and take an early lead. North Alabama was the worst team in their conference this year and they even finished in last place with a 2-14 record in conference play. The next closest team to them had 3 more wins in conference play but North Alabama was also terrible in their road games this year too. They lost 11/14 of their road games and they have lost 3 road games in a row now. They finished their year losing 8 games in a row and most of their road losses during that time were by 10+ points. They even lost to Florida Gulf Coast in 1 of those games by 30+ points and I don't see why this game would be any different for them. Florida Gulf Coast is going to play at their best in this game now that they have reached tournament play and I expect them to dispose of North Alabama quickly in this game. This should be a blowout for Florida Gulf Coast here, I like them to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 80-57 Florida Gulf Coast.
