St. Bonaventure (-6) vs. Mercer
La Salle vs. Wright St.
George Mason vs. Nebraska
Richmond (+8) vs. Auburn
Dayton vs. Virginia Tech
We march into another day filled with big opportunities league-wide. The Bonnies look to get their 2nd win of the season when they play host to Mercer, a team that's been shooting very well from three point range this year. This is a game St. Bonaventure absolutely should win, but it is still winless at the Reilly Center. La Salle will once again be underdogs in the Gulf Coast Showcase, but that proved no issue last night; the Explorers buried 13 threes en route to an 11 point victory over the Racers. George Mason gets what has been a pretty bad Nebraska team this year, but the Huskers beat Washington St. yesterday and should be the slight favorites against GMU. This is a good opportunity for Mason to keep rolling and beat a Big Ten team this evening. I like Mason's chances if it can get everyone involved on offense.
Finally, we have the 2 big ones. Richmond will be outmatched physically by Auburn (as was Davidson), but the Spiders will hope their red-hot shooting carries into Tuesday night and Grant Golden keeps up the good work in the post. At this point, win or lose doesn't matter -- just go out and play you're best against Auburn, and you leave Brooklyn with a great result either way. Dayton faces off against VT in the 2nd round of the Maui Invitational tonight. I don't see a spread yet, but the Flyers should be 1 point underdogs according to Kenpom. Dayton has the clear size advantage, and the Hokies have no one who can reasonably shut down Obi Toppin. I caution UD not to fall in love with the three and think they can beat Va. Tech in a shootout; the Hokies are 6th in the nation from three, and Maui's soft rims are very forgiving. Dayton needs to play through the paint and look for as many opportunities at the rim as possible. If it can control the pace and play much more physical, it should get Kansas in the championship tomorrow.
