The Oakland Golden Grizzlies have been a solid offensive team this season, and hot at the right time.  They are only 12-17 but winners of 4 of their last 5 and playing with double revenge tonight.

Oakland’s defense played excellent on Monday night holding Northern Kentucky to just 33.3% shooting from the field and 23.3% from three-point range. Cleveland State has been lead mostly by its defense this season but had to play down to the wire against two lower-seeded, but dangerous offensive teams in the quarterfinals and semi-finals of the tournament.  Oakland is a more explosive offensive team and  I think the Grizzlies will be able to bring another strong defensive effort and cover in the championship game.

Take Oakland U +3.
