Sam Houston at Northern Colorado

The Bearkats are here off a pair of seven-point wins in the tournament, but their biggest hurdle this season has been overcoming a sluggish offense, one that has shot the ball quite poorly. Sam Houston shoots just 42.5% on the season, and have converted just 33.6% from deep, and quite often that gets them in trouble, going through extensive scoring droughts. Northern Colorado has a high-octane offense, and is a team that has consistently shot the ball well, connecting on 47% or better in 8 of their last 10. They have also rebounded the ball very well, having been beaten off the glass just one time in their last 11 contests. Lay the points and take Northern Colorado.
