Massachusetts Minutemen (ATS) ..

At first glance, one might look at the records of these two teams and think that St. Bonaventure is the clear choice. Well, I've looked into this one and I believe that the Bonnies are underdogs for good reason. St. Bonaventure has been very shaky as of late. The Bonnies have lost three consecutive games now and aren't playing well against conference teams this season. It was kind of expected though earlier on in A10 games as this is a completely different team than last season. It's carried on and will continue here today.

On the other hand, UMASS really disappointed the begin the season. Luckily for the Minutemen, they've hung in there when conference matchups began and are in a good spot come March to make some noise. With an 11-14 record overall, UMASS will most definitely have to win the conference tournament to get in the Big Dance. However, the Minutemen have great athleticism and should be able to win this game at home on Saturday at noon.

Score Prediction: 74-66 UMASS.
