Mount St. Mary's vs. Texas Southern

Texas Southern opened their season at 2-7. The Tigers took on an aggressive schedule against superior teams and lost a lot of games. They really rallied at that point as they finished the season on a 14-1 run. The competition however became very weak. Mt. St. Mary's closed the season strong as well as the Mountaineers won their last 4 games. While Texas Southern comes in on an impressive run, the quality of teams they have beaten is really poor. Mt. St. Mary's has actually played the tougher schedule and is playing very well. These teams are both statistically even, but the big flaw with the Tigers is their inability to take care of the basketball. The Tigers averaged 16.4 turnovers a game over their last eight. Possessions are crucial here, and I see Texas Southern coming up short. Make the play on Mt. St. Mary's.
