Stephen Nover's NCAA Tourney Tuesday Top Ticket
(NCAAB) Southeast Missouri State vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, 03/14/2023 6:40 PM, Score: 71 - 75
Point Spread: -3.50 | -110.00 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Home)
Result: Win
Credit to Southeast Missouri State capturing the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament as a No. 5 seed. But I don't see the Redhawks getting past Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Texas A&M Corpus Christi is hot, winning 12 of its last 13 games, and are battle tested. The Islanders captured the Southland Conference Tournament title for the second year in a row. They also won the regular season championship. Southeast Missouri State last made the NCAA Tournament 23 years ago.

Both teams play fast and can score. The big difference is at the free throw line. Southeast Missouri State ranks 226th in free throw percentage. The Islanders rank fifth in the nation in free throw percentage at 79.1 percent.
