Old Dominion vs. Oakland

Old Dominion is about slowing the pace down with tough defense, while Oakland is about running the court with an explosive offense. ODU plays its best defense at home, however, and they are a long way from home for this one in Las Vegas. The Monarchs are 5-11 ATS in non-conference games. They face a talented Oakland offense with five players in double digit scoring, anchored by junior guard Kay Felder (24.4 points per game) and 6-7 Jalen Hayes (13.3 ppg, 8.7 rebounds per game). They shoot 77.1% from the free throw line and 39.7% from three-point land as a team. Oakland defeated East Tennessee State, 104-81, on Tuesday in the semifinals of the Vegas 16 tourney. The Golden Grizzlies advance to their first championship game in a postseason tournament and the team is on a 38-15-3 ATS run, including 25-5-1 ATS when following a straight-up win. Old Dominion stepped up to play Purdue of the Big 10 and got crushed, 61-39, while Oakland went toe-to-toe with Michigan State in a 99-93 OT loss as +11 dog. Take the Oakland Golden Grizzlies.
