BETTING STRATEGIES
San Diego has picked up a pair of wins in the tournament, beating Hartford and Portland State. The Toreros covered in an 88-72 win over Hartford and failed to cover in its 67-64 win over Portland State. Northern Colorado has played one game thus far, defeating Drake 81-72 as a 7-point favorite.
Northern Colorado comes in as the underdog, but the Bears have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games. San Diego has covered in four of its last six, but is just 13-14-1 against the spread on the season.
The Bears are particularly strong at the betting window when on the road. They have posted a 13-6-1 record ATS away from home. Their offense has been tough to deal with, as the Bears average just under 80 per game. That should be a problem for a San Diego team that is putting up less than 70 per contest.
