UC Irvine had a great season and they are so good at the free throw line and are good at not getting into foul trouble. They also do a good job of dominating the glass. They have the size to give the Mean Green some fits in this game as both have solid defenses but the edge goes to the Anteaters and their shooting. North Texas is 0-1 ATS this season in tournament semi-final games while the Anteaters are 4-1 ATS versus slow-down teams averaging 53 or less shots per game this season. This is a game that the Anteaters can control the pace in and keep the game competitive, so take any plus points in a tight game.

Best bet: take UC Irvine and the points.
