Mich St is on a major revenge spot here against Michigan who earlier in the year beat Michigan St in their own arena. I think Mich St is a team that can run the table and get into the tournament but it has to start here against a Michigan team that can light it up from outside. Michigan also doesn't play defense and are not a good rebounding team. IN conference play they are -5.1 rebounds and 47.4% defense. Mich St can rebound at +4.2 in conference play and that will be the difference in a close rivalry game.
GW - winners of 4 of 5 while the always tough Dayton has lost 4 of 6. Dayton seems disinterested while GW is playing their last home game and looking to move up to a 4 seed in the A-10 tournament.
Xavier - How can you bet against this team. Though St. Louis always plays them tough I think they are playing for the outright conference title and they will do so with their defense which on the road is just superb giving up just 37.6% shooting. St. Louis simply lacks the offense and the FT shooting to win this game. Xavier is the better team and will role.
