Northern Colorado (-2.5) - Northern Arizona Continue to the NCAAB tournament conference today, with a showdown from the Big Sky conference. The Northern Colorado bears will play with Northern Arizona Lumberjacks in the first round, with the match being neutral in Ogden, Utah.
Bears are the 6 seed here and NAriz. 3o, with their recordings this year at the conference being 11-9 and 12-8. An element that stands out for these two teams is how they ended the season. Colorado has just won 1 in the last 5 of the match while Ariz. finished with 4 wins streak, so the rhythm is on their side.
On the other hand, however, we have Bears absolute bosses in recent years in this particular pair, with 5 winning 6 last 3 last years, and 5-0 in these games. Indicative of their dominance were the two relatively easy hits they had against Ariz. this year. 20 / 2 went off with 74-59 as a one-point winner, shuffling over 60% and holding opponents below 50%. Similar to the first home match as a 8.5 favorite with 87-72 final. And in the second match their aggressive levels at high levels, which is also the strong weapon this year in Northern Colorado as it has several solutions to the aggressive piece. They have 4 players this year with more than 10 points, while statistically have one of the best attacks in America. NArizona, on the other hand, does not have the same depth aggressively and awaits many things from his defense, but this time in both matches against Bears he showed vulnerability.
There are no particular trends for the two teams, 5-9 this year, Northern Arizona, against positive-record teams and 2-6 ATS in the last 8 matches they have given to a neutral stadium.
Although seeding is not in their favor and the recent form is not the best theory of the Northern Colorado more talented team. He has shown in recent years that he knows how to get the match against his current opponent, and in the past two years Arizona has shown no fixed answers on both sides of the pitch. The fact that it is a tournament and that it is always difficult to win the same opponent three times during the season makes me slightly reduce the bet here. But it also means we find a pretty good line for the favorite tonight. Mybet-Stoiximan-Paddypower have the Northern Colorado at -2.5 @ 1.90.
