Prairie View A&M Panthers vs. Fairleigh Dickinson Knights Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 17th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/17/2019

Teams that capped historical seasons with tournament titles square off when Fairleigh Dickinson tackles Prairie View A&M on Tuesday as 16th seeds in the NCAA Tournament West Region First Four game in Dayton, Ohio. The winner of the First Four contest will advance to play No. 1 seed Gonzaga on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The second-seeded Knights knocked off No. 1 seed Saint Francis (Pa.) 85-76 on March 12 to win its second Northeast Conference Championship in the last four years and reach 20 wins for the first time since 2005-06. NEC Tournament MVP Darnell Edge scored 21 points and Kaleb Bishop added his second double-double of the season with 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 11 rebounds to help the Knights secure their sixth all-time bid to the Big Dance. Meanwhile, Prairie View capped a remarkable season by topping Texas Southern 92-86 on Saturday to win the Southwest Athletic Conference Tournament - its first tournament title in 21 years and the first time in the history of the school's program that it won both the regular season and tournament in the same year. The Panthers finished 17-1 in conference play, topped 20 wins for the first time in school history and advanced to their second NCAA Tournament and first since 1997-98.

TV: 6:40 p.m. ET, truTV

ABOUT PRAIRIE VIEW A&M (22-12): Gary Blackston and fellow senior guard Dennis Jones both scored 17 points in the title game, while junior guard Gerard Andrus (10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds) followed with 12 points and six rebounds. "This was truly a remarkable night and I am so proud of this team and the accomplishment we made tonight," coach Byron Smith told reporters. "We had a rough start (down 20-7), but the ending is a fairy tale within itself." The 6-2 Blackston (15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds) and junior forward Devonte Patterson (13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds) were named to the All-SWAC first team while the 6-1 Jones (8.6 points, 4.4 assists, 2.1 steals) was named SWAC Defensive Player of the Year.

ABOUT FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON (20-13): All five starters scored in double figures for the 11th time this season against Saint Francis, and the Knights shot a season-high 63.8 percent from the field, 7-of-13 from 3-point range and 18-of-20 at the line to secure their eighth straight win. "We started 1-4 in the conference and just found a way to come together and win 14 of the last 16," coach Greg Herenda said afterward. "We're family, we are all family and family won today." The 6-2 Edge, a first team all-conference pick, leads the team in scoring (16.4 points) and 3-pointers (84) while attempting 5.4 triples per game and connecting at a 46.9 percent rate; 6-8 Mike Holloway, a second-team All-NEC selection, averages 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds; and sophomore guard Jahlil Jenkins averages 13.5 points and 4.5 assists.

TIP-INS

1. Blackston led the SWAC in scoring last season at 19.2 points per game.

2. Fairleigh Dickinson has had two winning seasons since 2005-06 and has won fewer than 10 games six times in those 13 years.

3. Edge, second all-time at Fairleigh Dickinson with 193 career 3-pointers, led the NEC in 3-point field-goal percentage and free-throw percentage (89.3).

PREDICTION: Fairleigh Dickinson 75, Prairie View 70

Temple Owls vs. Belmont Bruins Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 17th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/17/2019

In his final season as a college basketball coach, Fran Dunphy has taken Temple back to the NCAA Tournament. The Owls earned a No. 11 seed in the East Region and will open as part of the First Four, where they will take on No. 11 seed Belmont in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday.

Dunphy, a Philadelphia sports icon, coached Penn for 17 years and now 13 years at Temple, but he announced prior to this season that 2018-19 would be his last. The Owls won six of their final seven games before falling to Wichita State in the American Athletic Conference Tournament and likely needed every one of those wins to sneak into the Field of 68. Belmont has never won an NCAA Tournament game (0-7), losing its recent appearances in 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2015. The Bruins were the top seed in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament before getting upset by Ja Morant and Murray State in the conference title game, although the selection committee gave them a reprieve with one of the final spots in the Big Dance.

TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, truTV

ABOUT TEMPLE (23-9): The Owls have three primary scorers in Shizz Alston Jr. (19.7 points), Quinton Rose (16.5) and Nate Pierre-Louis (13.3), all of whom average at least 1.5 steals per game, as well. Alston enters with an eight-game streak of 20-point performances and he has made multiple 3-pointers in 12 of his last 13 affairs. Pierre-Louis has failed to surpass his scoring average in any of the last four games, while Rose has struggled from the arc over the last month.

ABOUT BELMONT (26-5): Dylan Windler (21.4 points) is the top player for Belmont and shoots 43 percent from 3-point land, not to mention a staggering 10.7 rebounds per game as a big guard. Kevin McClain (16.3 points) has 66 3-pointers, second on the team to Windler (92). Nick Muszynski (14.9 points), who missed the conference title game with an ankle injury, is expected to play in the NCAA Tournament.

TIP-INS

1. In his last nine games, Rose is 12-of-42 (28.6 percent) from long distance.

2. Muszynski has 65 blocks. Temple, as a team, has only 72.

3. Prior to going 1-of-7 from 3-point range versus Murray State, Windler was 20-of-34 from 3-point land in his previous three outings.

PREDICTION: Belmont 79, Temple 67

St. Francis (PA) Red Flash vs. Indiana Hoosiers Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

Indiana isn't right where it wanted to be, but the Hoosiers will have to make the most of their postseason fate in the NIT starting Tuesday night with a first-round game at home against St. Francis (Pa.). The Hoosiers will attempt to quickly get over the disappointment of failing to land in the spot in the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year when they face an upset-minded mid-major team.

An opening loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament and upsets in the finals of several other conference tournaments kept Indiana out of the Big Dance in spite of quality wins that included a regular-season sweep of Michigan State, the conference champion. The Hoosiers enter the NIT as a No. 1 seed and coach Archie Miller has to hope his players are motivated to prove the NCAA selection committee was wrong to shun them. Eighth-seeded St. Francis last played in the NIT in 1958 but has appeared in a postseason tournament four of the last five seasons. The Red Flash made it to the final of the Northeast Conference Tournament last Tuesday before losing 85-76 to Fairleigh Dickinson.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT INDIANA (17-15): The Hoosiers didn't expect to wind up in the NIT after starting the season with a 12-2 record that included wins over NCAA Tournament-bound Marquette and Louisville, but they won five of their last 18 games. Junior guard Devonte Green has stepped up his play late in the season and nearly rallied Indiana in its Big Ten Tournament loss to Ohio State, making 8-of-10 3-point shots and finishing with 26 points. Freshman Romeo Langford, Indiana's leading scorer at 16.5 points per game, and senior Juwan Morgan, averaging 15.0 points and 8.3 rebounds, could be difference-makers against St. Francis.

ABOUT ST. FRANCIS (18-14): The Red Flash advanced to the NIT by virtue of their runner-up finish in the NEC Tournament and a strong February and March, winning eight in a row from Jan. 26 to Feb. 21 and 11 of their past 14 games. Keith Braxton, who posted his 13th double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 rebounds in the NEC final, leads St. Francis in scoring (16.2 points per game) and rebounding (9.8). Not far behind is Jamaal King, who is averaging 15.4 points and paced St. Francis against Fairleigh Dickinson with 21 points and eight assists.

TIP-INS

1. Indiana, making its first NIT appearance since 2017 and sixth overall, won the title in 1979 and finished as the runner-up in 1985.

2. If Indiana wins Tuesday and advances to the second round, it may have a chance to avenge a regular-season loss to Arkansas, which plays Providence in the first round.

3. St. Francis played three teams that were ranked in November (North Carolina, Virginia Tech, UCLA) and also Buffalo, which along with UNC was in the latest Top 25, during the non-conference portion of its schedule and lost to all four by 15 or more points.

PREDICTION: Indiana 74, St. Francis 63

Campbell Fighting Camels vs. NC-Greensboro Spartans Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 By Charles Jay for Scores And Stats
by Charles Jay Scores & Stats on 03/18/2019

The Campbell Fighting Camels have ridden on the talents of a remarkable scorer all season long, and they will live or die with him as they go into battle in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). How much damage can mighty-mite Chris Clemons wind up doing? He'll have a national showcase on ESPN3 to demonstrate his talents.

In the first round game, they are going to be taking on the UNC-Greensboro Spartans, who were highly-publicized as one of the last four teams "out" of NCAA Tournament consideration. Their conference is tougher than it's usually been, but we must say that they acquitted themselves quite well against the better teams they played against - all except for Wofford.

This game between Campbell and UNC-Greensboro takes place at the Greensboro Coliseum on Tuesday night.

TV: ESPN3, 7 PM ET. LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT CAMPBELL: As far as the offense is concerned, it's mostly about Chris Clemons, who led the nation in scoring at 30 points a game one season after ranking fourth in the country. It only 5-9, he packs a big punch in a little package, and he is dominant enough that he's involved in 37.4% of his team's possessions and takes 39.3% of their shots when he is on the floor, which is the second and fourth highest figures, respectively, in the country. Clements is not necessarily that prolific a three-point shooter, hitting just under 35%, and Campbell is not all that accurate as a team, below the national average of 33.9%. However, they do throw up a lot of triples – 49% of all shot attempts, as a matter of fact – so that makes them one of the ten most dependent teams on long-distance shooting in the country. It also means that a team that can really get out to the perimeter and defense is going to handcuff them. But UNC-Greensboro is not that team. The Fighting Camels also nail their free throws (75.2%), so you don't want to send Clemons (86%) or Andrew Eudy (85%) to the line. This is a rather small team; Eudy the only player over 6-6 in the lineup, and head coach Kevin McGeehan doesn't ask his bench for too much (just 21.6% of all minutes). Campbell lost non-conference games in competitive efforts to the likes of Miami-Florida (73-62), Ohio (81-73) and Georgetown (93-85). They also lost 83-68 to Abilene Christian, who got into the Big Dance by virtue of its Southland Conference championship. They are 20-12 straight-up and 18-12 against the pointspread.

ABOUT UNC-GREENSBORO: The Spartans played very tough early in the season against LSU, which wound up a top ten team, losing a 97-91 decision despite 32 points out of Kyrin Galloway and making 19 triples as a team. They also led Kentucky at the half, then faded late in a 78-61 loss. There has been a lot of very formidable competition in the Southern Conference, perhaps more than there's been in many years, and the Spartans rolled to a 17-4 record, which included two wins apiece against East Tennessee State and Furman. But they could not beat Wofford, or even get all that close. They throttled to the tune of 72-43 and 80-50 in the regular season, then 70-58 in the conference title game. Still, they were actually expecting to the very much in the running for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, and according to pundits, they were one of the last teams "out," along with Indiana and Alabama. The general feeling is that Oregon's upset win in the Pac-12 title game took up an at-large spot they could have grabbed. So this would seem a natural spot for them to sulk, and get caught napping. And that wouldn't be the first time a #1 seed (which they are) suffered from that "hangover" syndrome. "We've got to switch gears, be excited to play at home on Tuesday," said coach Wes Miller. Francis Alonso, a 6-3 senior guard, had 21 points in the Southern Conference final after scoring just a dozen points combined in the first two games against Wofford. The Spartans had better be prepared to defend the triple, but they surrendered 35.1% from the arc this season, which places them just 219th in the nation. UNC-Greensboro comes into this game with a record of 28-6 straight-up and 14-16-1 against the spread. At home, they are 5-7-1 ATS.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Campbell's Chris Clemons has the longest consecutive string of double-digit scoring games in the country, at 114.

2. One of UNC-Greensboro's biggest assets is its ability to get the other team to make mistakes, as they are 18th in defensive turnover rate. But Campbell's offensive TO rate is 13th best in the nation.

3. This is Kevin McGeehan's sixth year as head coach at Campbell. This is the first time he's reached 20 victories. This is UNCG coach Wes Miller's third straight season with at least 25 wins.

PREDICTION: UNC-Greensboro 77, Campbell 75

Hofstra Pride vs. NC State Wolfpack Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

Hofstra visits North Carolina State on Tuesday evening in the first round of the NIT for a matchup of two teams who were disappointed to fall short of the Big Dance. The Pride, who are seeded seventh in their bracket, finished first in the Colonial Athletic Association during the regular season, while the second-seeded Wolfpack narrowly missed out on an NCAA Tournament bid.

Hofstra fought back from a 42-26 halftime deficit in the CAA championship game to tie the game at 54 with nine minutes remaining but Northeastern's Vasa Pusica took over late, hitting a few key baskets en route to 21 points in the 82-74 Huskies win. "We have to own it. Let's cut to the chase, they played two halves, we played one," Pride coach Joe Mihalich told reporters after the game. N.C. State led Virginia at the half in its ACC Tournament quarterfinals matchup but was blown out in the second, losing 76-56, which ultimately left the Wolfpack just shy of an at-large NCAA berth. "Obviously we're very disappointed to not be selected for the NCAA Tournament, but we don't have time to hang our heads and will begin preparing tonight for a very talented Hofstra team," N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts told reporters after learning his team's postseason assignment.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2

ABOUT HOFSTRA (27-7): The Pride shot just 28.1 percent from the floor in the first half against the Huskies before finding their shooting stroke in the second half with 51.9 percent shooting as they almost completed the comeback. Hofstra is led offensively by senior guard Justin Wright-Foreman whose 27 points per game ranks second in the nation. The Pride can score with the top teams in the country, averaging 83.6 points -- seventh-most in the NCAA -- while shooting 48.8 percent from the floor and 38.9 percent from long range.

ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (22-11): The Wolfpack held the Cavaliers to just 27 points in the first half on Thursday in opening up a two-point lead at the break but Virginia found its form in the second and outscored N.C. State by 22. Markell Johnson led the Wolfpack in scoring against the Cavaliers with 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting, while DJ Funderburk chipped in with 12 off the bench. N.C. State shot 38.8 percent from the floor but managed to hit on just 3-of-20 3-point attempts -- well below its season average of 34.9 percent -- against Virginia's stingy scoring defense.

TIP-INS

1. Wright-Foreman is a two-time CAA Player of the Year.

2. Wolfpack leading scorer Torin Dorn (13.4 points per game) managed just 15 points in the two games of the ACC Tournament.

3. Hofstra and N.C. State have one common opponent in Mount Saint Mary's, whom they both beat easily in November with the Pride winning 79-61 and the Wolfpack winning 105-55.

PREDICTION: North Carolina State 75, Hofstra 73

Wright St. Raiders vs. Clemson Tigers Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

After winding up on the wrong side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, Clemson will try to earn a consolation prize in the form of an NIT championship. The second-seeded Tigers were one of the handful of legitimate hopefuls who missed out on at-large bids, but get a chance to prove they belonged in the field of 68 when they host No. 7 seed Wright State in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday.

Although it's the first meeting between the teams, it's a reunion of sorts for Clemson coach Brad Brownell, who coached the Raiders to four consecutive 20-win seasons before leaving to take over the Tigers in 2010. Brownell took the Raiders to the NCAA Tournament in 2007, and they were back last season, but they've never played in the NIT. The Tigers are playing in the NIT for the 17th time, including runner-up finishes in 1999 and 2007. The winner will face Furman or Wichita State in the second round.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU

ABOUT WRIGHT STATE (21-13): The Raiders shared the regular-season title in the Horizon League before losing to Northern Kentucky in the conference tournament final. The offense runs through 6-9 center Loudon Love (15.1 points, 8.2 rebounds), who has 12 double-doubles and is one of the nation's top offensive rebounders. Reserve forward Bill Wampler (14.9 points) and point guard Cole Gentry (11.7) also average double digits, and Mark Hughes (9.2 points) is the defensive stopper.

ABOUT CLEMSON (19-13): The Tigers might not be in the NIT if they hadn't blown an 18-point first-half lead against North Carolina State in the second round of the ACC Tournament. Clemson should have an edge against anyone in terms of experience as four starters are seniors or graduate students, including star guard Marcquise Reed (19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds) backcourt mate Shelton Mitchell (11.5 points) and big man Elijah Thomas (13 points, 7.9 rebounds). The Tigers don't have much depth, though, as only one reserve averages more than 12 minutes and two points.

TIP-INS

1. Reed is one of two players in the nation to average at least 19 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists (3.1), and 2.0 steals (2.2).

2. Gentry is a 90.2 percent foul shooter and made 46 consecutive free throws earlier this season.

3. Clemson is 12-4 at home in the NIT, including wins in 12 of its last 13 such contests.

PREDICTION: Clemson 69, Wright State 65

San Diego Toreros vs. Memphis Tigers Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

It is not unusual for teams invited to the NIT to experience a letdown, disappointed after failing to garner a spot in the NCAA Tournament. That may not be the case for San Diego and host Memphis, who carry some excitement into a first-round matchup Tuesday in FedExForum.

The Toreros, who finished seventh in the West Coast Conference and lost in the semifinals to eventual champion Saint Mary's in the conference tournament, didn't even bother to hold a team watch party on Sunday night to view the selection show, feeling chances were so slim at garnering the school's first ever NIT invite. San Diego, the sixth seed in the TCU bracket, was the 32nd and final team announced to the NIT field. "I just got done screaming and yelling for 10 minutes straight," Toreros coach Sam Scholl told the San Diego Union Tribune. "It's unbelievable, man. Unbelievable." San Diego will be facing a Penny Hardaway-coached Memphis team also happy to continue its season with its first postseason berth since 2014 after losing to Houston 61-58 in the semifinals of the the American Athletic Conference Tournament .

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN3

ABOUT SAN DIEGO (21-14): Senior forward Isaiah Pineiro leads the team in both scoring (19.1) and rebounding (9.5) and garnered first team All-WCC honors for the second straight season. Senior guard Olin Carter III was named to the second team and is second on the team in scoring (14.8) while ranking ranked second in the WCC in 3-pointers per game with an average of 2.7. Senior point guard Isaiah Wright scored a game-high 22 points, including five 3-pointers, in the 69-62 loss to Saint Mary's and leads the team in assists (4.7) and steals (1.4).

ABOUT MEMPHIS (21-13): Senior guard Jeremiah Martin leads the team in scoring (19.6), assists (4.4) and steals (2.2) and was a first team All-AAC pick. Senior forward Kyvon Davenport (13.2) and freshman guard Tyler Harris (10.6) also average in double figures with Davenport, who missed most of the second half of the Houston loss with a bruised knee but will play against the Toreros, also grabbing a team-best seven rebounds per game. "I want these seniors to have an opportunity to win a championship," Hardaway told the Daily Memphian. "We definitely want one, we feel like we deserve one."

TIP-INS

1. Martin was one of three Division I players to average 30 points in the month of February and set the AAC single-game scoring record with 43 points in a 102-76 win over Tulane.

2. The 6-7 Pineiro has 17 double-doubles this season including 27 points and 12 rebounds in San Diego's 80-57 quarterfinal win over BYU, a game the Toreros led by as many as 44 points.

3. The winner plays either Creighton or Loyola Chicago in the second round.

PREDICTION: Memphis 81, San Diego 72

Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Providence Friars Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
Providence had its streak of five straight NCAA Tournament appearances snapped but can still look forward to a seventh consecutive postseason run, which begins Wednesday night when the fourth-seeded Friars host fifth seed Arkansas in the first round of the NIT. Providence will be making an appearance in the event for the first time since 2013, when it reached the quarterfinals before reeling off its five consecutive berths in the Big Dance under coach Ed Cooley.

"I still want to play with this young group," Cooley told reporters of his squad, which has one senior among its regulars. "We left a lot of games on the table with our inconsistent approach in some of the games. We're excited to continue to play, we're still trying to get 20 wins, to get back to Madison Square Garden." The Friars won three of their final five regular-season games and throttled Butler in the opening round of the Big East Tournament before bowing out to Villanova in the quarterfinals. A six-game losing streak in February crushed the Razorbacks' hopes of an at-large NCAA bid, but they rebounded to win three straight to open March before a second-round loss to Florida in the conference tourney. Arkansas, which reached the NCAAs in each of the last two seasons, is appearing in the NIT for the first time since 2014.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN2 LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT ARKANSAS (17-15): The Razorbacks lean on sophomore forward Daniel Gafford, an All-SEC first-team selection who leads the squad in scoring (16.9 points per game), rebounds (8.7) and blocks (2.0). He had 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the SEC Tournament loss to the Gators, while his teammates were a combined 11-of-37 from the floor. Guards Isaiah Joe (14 points per game) and Mason Jones (13.6) are steady contributors, while Jalen Harris chips in 7.7 points and 5.5 assists, fourth-best in the SEC.

ABOUT PROVIDENCE (18-15): Junior guard Alpha Diallo was named to the Big East's second team and tops the Friars in scoring (16.1), rebounds (8.0), assists (3.1) and steals (1.5). Center Nate Watson, a sophomore, came on strong down the stretch and scored 15 points in the Big East Tournament loss to Villanova to push his scoring average to 11.8. Freshman guard A.J. Reeves is next on the team's scoring list at 10.1 points, but had a total of eight points on 3-of-10 shooting in the two conference tournament games.

TIP-INS

1. The winner faces top-seeded Indiana or eight seed St. Francis (Pa.) in the second round.

2. Gafford is 32-for-46 from the floor over his last four games and is shooting 66 percent overall, tops among SEC players.

3. Providence won two of the three previous meetings, the most recent coming in 2007.

PREDICTION: Providence 74, Arkansas 70

Loyola-Chicago Ramblers vs. Creighton Bluejays Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

Loyola Chicago had its heart broken in the Missouri Valley Conference semifinals a little over a week ago after repeatedly doing the same to a number of major programs during its improbable run through the NCAA Tournament nearly one year ago. The Ramblers' reward for coming up short in their conference tournament will be an interesting one for coach Porter Moser, however, as his seventh-seeded team visits No. 2 seed Creighton in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday.

Loyola, making its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1985, won its first three games in the Big Dance last season by a total of four points, but the Ramblers' hopes for a repeat of their Final Four appearance were dashed with a 53-51 loss to Bradley on March 9, resulting in a showdown against the school he played for from 1986-90. "Well, someone on the committee got a chuckle scheduling us against my alma mater. ... I have a ton of respect for (coach) Greg (McDermott) and the program he runs. ... They are playing extremely well right now," Moser said in a statement Sunday. The Bluejays won five straight to end the regular season to make a late NCAA Tournament push before their late-season surge was halted by a 63-61 loss to Xavier in the Big East quarterfinals. Creighton has won at least one game in eight of its last 10 postseason appearances but hasn't enjoyed much success against the Ramblers (6-12), who replaced them in the MVC nearly six years ago.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU

ABOUT LOYOLA CHICAGO (20-13): MVC Player of the Year Marques Townes (15.6 points) averaged a conference-best 18.1 points during league play and had scored 26 points one week earlier in a win versus the Braves, but was held to seven points on 3-of-17 shooting in the MVC title game - including a miss on a short jumper as time expired. Cameron Krutwig (14.7) was also kept in check with only six points after finishing sixth in the conference in scoring with 15.9 points per game during MVC action. Guards Clayton Custer and Cooper Kaifes combined for six of the team's nine 3-pointers and were the only two Ramblers to finish in double figures in the loss as Kaifes leads the team in 3-point accuracy (46.9).

ABOUT CREIGHTON (18-14): Martin Krampelj (13.7 points, 7.0 rebounds) averaged 16.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks during Big East action, joining Georgetown's Jessie Govan as the only other player to rank inside the top 10 in all four categories during league play. Fellow honorable mention all-conference selection Ty-Shon Alexander (team-high 16.2 points) reached the 20-point mark for the eighth time this season versus the Musketeers and has made at least one 3-pointer in a school-record 33 consecutive games. Mitch Ballock (10.9) managed only 10 points against Xavier but had a historic game in his most recent home game, tying a conference mark with a school-record 11 3-pointers en route to a career-high 39 points in a March 9 victory over DePaul.

TIP-INS

1. Creighton has won six straight postseason home games dating back to a 65-63 loss to Kentucky in the second round of the 2009 NIT.

2. Loyola, which has not won more than three in a row all season, is making its first NIT appearance since 1980 and its first back-to-back postseason appearances since 1962-63 and 1963-64.

3. The Ramblers feature the country's fifth-best scoring defense (60.5 points) and have held six of their last 11 postseason opponents to 55 points or fewer.

South Dakota State Jackrabbits vs. Texas Longhorns Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

Texas saw its hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid fade away while losing five of the last six games and must refocus quickly as the Longhorns open play in the NIT on Tuesday night against high-scoring South Dakota State. Second-seeded Texas accumulated seven wins against teams that made the NCAAs, but averaged just 54.7 points in its last three contests after a 65-57 setback against Kansas in the Big 12 quarterfinals Thursday.

"What was going through my head is that it's my job as a leader to set the right example for our guys and talk about turning the page, embracing the right attitude and the next challenge," Longhorns coach Shaka Smart told the Austin American Statesman of his thoughts after missing the NCAAs. ". ... That is the biggest directive that I've given myself moving forward." Texas is in the NIT for the first time since 1986 and won the event in 1978, but won't likely have Big 12 Freshman of the Year Jaxson Hayes (10 points, five rebounds per game) the rest of the way after the 6-11 forward suffered a knee injury last week against Kansas. The Longhorns will have to deal with seventh-seeded Jackrabbits, who won the Summit League regular-season title before being upset in the conference tournament quarterfinals and are making their second NIT appearance (also in 2015). South Dakota State is tied for fifth in the country in scoring (84.9), tied for second in field-goal percentage (50.3) and is third in 3-point shooting percentage (41.0) while being led by 6-9 senior forward Mike Daum - the nation's fifth-leading scorer (25.3) and fourth-leading rebounder (11.7).

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA STATE (24-8): Daum is one of 10 players in NCAA Division I history to score at least 3,000 points (3,042), has also made a school-record 268 3-pointers and finished with 21 double-doubles this season. The Jackrabbits boast two more big offensive threats, including sophomore guard David Jenkins (19.7 points overall, team-high 109 3-pointers) and senior guard Skyler Flatten (15.5 points). Senior guard Tevin King (9.3 points, team-best 4.3 assists) scored 19 in the loss to Western Illinois last time out - his second highest output of the season.

ABOUT TEXAS (16-16): Senior guard Kerwin Roach II (team-high 14.7 points) returned to the lineup Thursday after sitting out the previous five games due to a team suspension and scored eight points on 2-of-7 shooting. Senior forward Dylan Osetkowski is second on the team in scoring (10.4) after pouring in 18 against Kansas last week and tops the Longhorns in rebounding (7.4). Sophomore guard Jase Febres scored 23 at Baylor on Feb. 27 with seven 3-pointers and followed that up with 26 against Iowa State on 8-of-10 from 3-point range just three days later.

TIP-INS

1. Texas sophomore G Matt Coleman III averages 10 points and a team-best 3.6 assists.

2. South Dakota State lost at Nevada, an NCAA Tournament at-large selection, 72-68 on Dec. 15.

3. It's the first meeting between the two programs and the winner plays either Xavier or Toledo in the second round.

PREDICTION: South Dakota State 82, Texas 74

Dayton Flyers vs. Colorado Buffaloes Preview and Predictions 2019-03-19

NCAAB Predictions 18th March 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 03/18/2019

Colorado and Dayton have had near-identical seasons with both finishing strong. Those campaigns now have added life as the Buffaloes host the Flyers on Tuesday night in a first-round NIT game in Boulder, Colo.

Colorado is one of the four No. 4 seeds in the 32-team field while Dayton, of the Atlantic 10 Conference, is seeded fifth. The Buffs, who feature five freshmen and sophomores among the top seven in their rotation, have won 10 of their last 13 games, including a pair of wins in the Pac-12 Tournament prior to a semifinal loss to top-seeded Washington. Now they get a chance to continue after earning their eighth postseason berth in head coach Tad Boyle's nine seasons. "This team is one that (will) represent well in the postseason," Boyle told reporters. "I want our players to get postseason experience, and the NIT is a great springboard for young teams to gain valuable experience and hopefully take it into next year."

TV: 11 p.m. ET, ESPN2

ABOUT DAYTON (21-11): In their second season under coach Anthony Grant, the Flyers have won nine of their last 13 games, and after finishing third in the Atlantic 10 they were ousted by eventual champion Saint Louis in the conference tournament quarterfinals. Freshman forward Obadiah Toppin averages 14.2 points per game to pace the team while forward Josh Cunningham (13.6), guard Jalen Crutcher (13.1) and forward Ryan Mikesell (10.0) also average double digits. Dayton ranks third nationally with a 50.3 field-goal percentage, leads the Atlantic 10 with 16.5 assists and ranks second in rebounding margin (2.9).

ABOUT COLORADO (21-12): The Buffs' strong finish has mirrored the late-season emergence of sophomore swingman Tyler Bey, who leads the team with 13.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per outing. Bey had 22 points and 16 boards in the 66-61 tourney loss to Washington and has posted six double-doubles in his last eight contests. Guards McKinley Wright IV (13.1 points) and Shane Gatling (10.3) also average double figures for Colorado, which averages 73.9 points and paces the Pac-12 with a 6.6 rebound margin.

TIP-INS

1. The teams have met three times, most recently in 2012, and are scheduled to meet next Dec. 21 as part of the Chicago Legends Classic.

2. The Buffaloes are 13-2 at home this season, including a current six-game win streak, while the Flyers have won seven of their 10 true road games.

3. The Colorado-Dayton survivor will face the winner of top-seeded Alabama and eighth-seeded Norfolk State in the second round.

PREDICTION: Colorado 72, Dayton 68

Tuesday's First Four Tips
Brian Edwards

The 2019 NCAA Tournament gets started with Tuesday’s First Four doubleheader in Dayton, OH. The winners advance to play again on Thursday, while the losers go home. It’s Tourney Time, folks, and that means there’s no tomorrow. Winners survive and move on, while losers go home in the one-and-done scenario that makes this event one of the best in all of sports.

**Fairleigh Dickinson vs. Prairie View A&M**

-- As of Monday night, most books had Fairleigh Dickinson (20-13 straight up, 18-13 against the spread) listed as a two-point favorite with a total of 149.5.

-- KenPom.com ranks FDU at No. 208 in the nation and Prairie View A&M is No. 209. The only team in the field ranked worse is North Carolina Central (No. 303).

-- FDU’s best win is a 77-66 victory at Princeton (No. 175 at K-Pom). The Knights lost 90-55 at Rutgers, 69-59 at Providence and 60-54 at South Florida.

-- FDU brings an eight-game winning streak to Dayton. The Knights won the Northeast Tournament by capturing an 85-76 win over St. Francis (PA.) in the finals. They won outright as four-point underdogs thanks to 63.8 percent shooting from the field, 53.8 percent shooting from long distance and 90.0 percent shooting from the free-throw line. Darnell Edge made all seven of his FTAs and scored 21 points. Jahlil Jenkins added 20 points, three assists and a pair of steals, while Kaleb Bishop finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots. Mike Holloway Jr. contributed 12 points and five assists, making 5-of-7 field-goal attempts.

-- Edge leads the Knights in scoring (16.4 points per game) and free-throw accuracy (88.5%), and he’s also drained 46.9 percent of his 3-pointers. Jenkins (13.5 PPG) averages team-bests in assists (4.6 APG) and steals (1.6 SPG) and has knocked down 87.4 percent of his FTAs. Holloway (12.5 PPG) averages 5.5 RPG and has 33 steals and a team-high 34 blocked shots.

-- FDU is ranked fifth in the nation in 3-point accuracy, splashing the nets from downtown at a 40.3 percent clip. The Knights are 30th in the country in field-goal percentage (47.8%).

-- FDU is looking for its first NCAA Tournament win in program history. The Knights are 0-5 in previous appearances.

-- Prairie View A&M (22-12 SU, 18-14-1 ATS) has won 11 games in a row and hasn’t tasted defeat since Feb. 9. The Panthers are 8-3 ATS during their winning streak and have covered the spread in six straight games. They won the SWAC Tournament with a 92-86 win over Texas Southern as two-point underdogs. Dennis Jones and Gary Blackston led six double-figure scorers with 17 points apiece. Jones had four assists and three steals, while Blackston finished with 17 points, six steals and four rebounds.

-- Like FDU, Prairie View A&M has just one win over a team in the K-Pom Top 200. The Panthers won their opener at Santa Clara (No. 185) by an 81-64 count. Some defeats of note include an 83-67 loss at Murray St., a 65-54 loss at Ga. Tech, a 74-66 loss at UNC Greensboro and a 91-80 loss at Baylor.

-- Blackston leads the Panthers in scoring (15.2 PPG) and rebounding (7.0 RPG). Jones (8.6 PPG) paces Prairie View A&M in assists (4.4 APG) and steals (2.1 SPG), while Devonte Patterson (13.0 PPG) and Gerard Andrus (10.0) are also double-figure scorers.

-- Prairie View A&M is in its second NCAA Tournament and first since 1998. The Panthers commit an average of 21.7 fouls per game, which is the fourth-most in the country. This stat is something for bettors looking at the total should keep in mind.

-- Prairie View A&M is ranked 34th in the nation at defending the 3-point line (31.3%). The Panthers don’t shoot well from long distance, however, making only 31.2 percent of their treys to rank No. 318 in the country.

-- The ‘over’ has hit in four consecutive contests for the Panthers to improve to 20-13 overall.

-- The ‘under’ has cashed in four of FDU’s past five games to improve to 17-14 overall.

-- Tip-off on TruTV is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. Eastern.

**Temple vs. Belmont**

-- As of Monday night, most books had Belmont (26-5 straight up, 19-10-1 against the spread) installed as a three-point favorite with the total in the 155-156 range. The Owls were +135 on the money line (risk $100 to win $135). For first-half wagers, the Bruins were favored by 1.5 points (with -115 or -120 juice) and the total was 72.5.

-- The Temple-Belmont winner will advance to face the East Region’s No. 6 seed, Maryland, on Thursday at 3:10 p.m. Eastern (or 30 minutes after the conclusion of Yale vs. LSU) in Jacksonville at Veterans Memorial Arena.

-- Belmont is a name hardcore college basketball fans are plenty familiar with, as is its head coach Rick Byrd, who has more than 800 career wins. The other coaches in this Tournament with more than 800 career victories? Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams and Jim Boeheim. This team went through anxiety galore from the time its 14-game winning streak was halted by Murray State at the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament finals up until its name popped up on the screen during CBS’s Selection Show late Sunday afternoon.

-- Since 2004, Byrd has taken Belmont to seven NCAA Tournaments, four NIT appearances and one trip to the CIT quarterfinals. This is the Bruins’ eighth trip to the NCAA Tournament on Byrd’s watch and its first at-large berth. They are still seeking their first Tournament victory. This is the 65-year-old Byrd’s 33rd season with the program that was competing at the NAIA level up until 1996. Byrd has led the Bruins to at least 20 wins in nine consecutive seasons.

-- Belmont center Nick Muszynski was listed as ‘questionable’ due to an ankle injury sustained in the OVC Tournament semifinals, but he was upgraded to ‘probable’ Monday night. Muszynski, who was named the OVC Freshman of the Year, has averaged 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 blocked shots in 29 games for the Bruins.

-- Belmont didn’t have Muszynski in its loss to Murray State by a 77-65 count in the finals of the OVC Tournament. Without Muszynski, the Racers outrebounded the Bruins by a 46-31 margin. Senior forward Dylan Windler had 17 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in defeat. Kevin McClain finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists without a turnover.

-- Windler averages a double-double (21.4 PPG, 10.7 RPG), makes 54.8 percent of his FGAs, 43.0 percent of his treys, 84.6 percent of his FTAs and averages 1.4 steals per game. The senior forward had 32 points and 21 rebounds in his team’s win over Austin Peay in the OVC Tournament semifinals, becoming just the fifth player in college basketball to produce a 30/20 game this year. Windler ranks 10th in the nation in rebounding, 14th in double-doubles with 17, 17th in 3-point accuracy, 27th in scoring and 49th in FG percentage. As a junior last season, he averages 17.3 points and 9.3 RPG.

-- McClain averages 16.3 PPG and has a 126/69 assist-to-turnover ratio. Grayson Murphy (9.8 PPG) ranks 12th in the country in assists (6.6 APG with a 204/77 assist-to-turnover ratio) and has a team-high 52 steals. He is a liability at the free-throw line, however, making only 57.8 percent of his attempts.

-- Belmont ranks third in the nation in road wins with 12. Only Stony Brook and UC Irvine, who have 13 apiece, have more road victories than the Bruins.

-- Belmont owns a 7-6 spread record in 13 games as a single-digit favorite.

-- During ESPN’s Tournament Challenge Marathon on Monday night, the network’s Jay Bilas said, “Belmont beats Temple. I think Maryland is better than Belmont, but I think Belmont will give them a hard time because they spread you and they have great cutting and they’re a fantastic passing team. Because of Maryland’s youth and their bigs that’ll have to chase, I think Belmont can do it.” Rece Davis added, “I’ve got Belmont going to the Sweet 16.” Seth Greenberg had this to say about Muszynski: “That dude is big, he’s physical and can pass and when he gets it, dudes are cutting like crazy.”

-- Temple (23-9 SU, 15-15 ATS) had won three games in a row until bowing out of the AAC Tournament quarterfinals in an 80-74 loss to Wichita St. as a 1.5-point favorite. The Shockers outscored the Owls 9-2 in the last 1:25. Shizz Alston Jr. scored a team-best 20 points in the losing effort. Quinton Rose added 17 points, six rebounds and three steals, while Ernest Aflakpui finished with 16 points and 19 boards. Nate Pierre-Louis was also in double figures with 11 points, five rebounds and three assists compared to just one turnover.

-- Temple head coach Fran Dunphy is retiring after this 29th season as a head coach in Philadelphia. From 1990-2006, Dunphy led Penn to nine NCAA Tournament appearances and five unbeaten seasons against Ivy League competition. After winning 310 games for the Quakers, Dunphy left for Temple in 2006. He has taken the Owls to eight NCAA Tournaments and two NITs. However, we must note that Dunphy’s NCAA Tournament record is an abysmal 3-15.

-- Temple is 2-5 SU against teams in the NCAA Tournament field. The Owls owns wins over Houston and UCF.

-- Alston leads the Owls in scoring (19.7 PPG), assists (5.0 APG) and free-throw accuracy (90.7%). The senior guard from Philadelphia also has 49 steals. Rose averages 16.5 PPG and has a team-best 68 steals. Pierre-Louis averages 13.3 points and 5.7 RPG.

-- Temple owns a 5-4-1 spread record with four outright victories in 10 games as an underdog.

-- The ‘over’ is 18-14 overall for the Owls after going 6-2 in their past eight outings.

-- The ‘over’ is 16-14 overall for the Bruins, but they’ve seen the ‘under’ cash in three straight contests.

-- This game will tip on TruTV 30 minutes after the conclusion of Fairleigh Dickinson vs. Prairie View A&M.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- With Murray State and Belmont in the field of 68, the OVC has multiple NCAA Tournament teams for the first time since 1987.

-- When I think of a sleeper team, I think of one that’s seeded fifth or worse. On that note, my sleeper for this year is sixth-seeded Iowa State.

-- If Seton Hall advances past Wofford, it will most likely face Kentucky. The Pirates beat the Wildcats on a neutral court back in non-conference play.

-- What double-digit seeds have the best chance of advancing to the Sweet 16? In order, I’d say Oregon, Murray State, Florida, UC Irvine and Northeastern.

-- Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson announced Monday that star sophomore forward Daniel Gafford is turning pro early and will not play in the NIT. Gafford averaged 16.9 points and 8.6 RPG for the Razorbacks, who are 5.5-point underdogs in Tuesday’s NIT opener at Providence. With Anderson’s job security in peril, this sure seems like a lame move. NBADraft.net has Gafford listed as the No. 20 overall pick in its latest mock draft. I remember South Carolina’s Renaldo Balkman dominating the 2006 NIT to go from possibly going undrafted to the No. 20 overall picks in the first round to the New York Knicks. Gafford should be playing and trying to improve his stock.

-- Anderson isn’t the only coach in the NIT who might need a deep run to retain his job. Many think that Alabama’s Avery Johnson could be in trouble for missing the NCAA Tournament for the third time during his four-year tenure. The Crimson Tide lost at the buzzer to Texas A&M, allowed a 21-point halftime lead to get away in a loss to Georgia St. and gave up a healthy second-half lead in a home loss to Auburn. If Johnson’s team avoids those outcomes, possibly just one or two of them, it would be in the NCAA Tournament. Instead, it’s a No. 1 seed in the NIT and hosts Norfolk St. on Wednesday at Coleman Coliseum. The Tide is an 18-point ‘chalk.’ Yes, Johnson has a large buyout but there’s the possibility that his agent is shopping for an NBA gig and he might leave on his own. If Johnson does leave in one way or another, potential Alabama targets could include Thad Matta, Andy Kennedy, Richard Pitino, Steve Prohm and Gregg Marshall.
