The CBI Tournament doesn't get the pick of the litter by any stretch, and they really had to reach to justify that NC Greensboro made their tournament. Greensboro is an ugly 15-18 on the season, and didn't exactly play in a conference loaded with good teams. The Spartans don't defend well anywhere on the court allowing 48% shooting in road games, as well as nesrly 40% from deep. Ohio, at 22-11, is a bonafide NIT team, but had to settle for the CBI, a tournament they could win. The Bobcats shoot the ball extremely well as they have connected on 47% of their shots as well as 39% from beyond the arc. And against one of the worst defending teams in the country, on the road, look for the Bobcats to stretch this one out and win handily. Make the play on Ohio.

1.5 units on Ohio -8.5 (-110) (risk 1.5 to return 2.86)
