T.M. Selection: Navy.

I like Navy to cover the spread against Boston U in this game on Sunday. Navy didn't look great in their final games as they were finishing off the regular season but they won in the 1st round of this tournament and I think they can do the same here on their home court again. This is another home game for Navy and they have looked really good in their home games lately with 3/4 wins in their previous 4 games. They also completed the season sweep of Boston U this year and I think they are going to pick up another win over them here. Boston U had a very similar end to their regular season as Navy did, losing 2/3 games but winning in the 1st round of this tournament on their home court. This will be a road game for Boston U though, and they have actually lost their 2 most recent road games by 10+ points. Boston U hasn't been terrible on the road this year at 8-7 but they have been a lot better on their home court and I expect them to struggle in this road game. Boston U has also been giving up a lot more points in their games than Navy has been and I think Navy's defensive effort is going to help them win this game. Navy doesn't put up a lot of points in their games but that is because they play well on the defensive end of the court and they keep the opposing teams to very low scores, usually in the 50's or 60's. I think Navy is going to force some turnovers in this game and they should be able to keep a good lead the whole game. I like Navy to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 67-61 Navy.
