(NCAAB) Holy Cross vs. Southern, 03/16/2016 2:40 PM, Score: 59 - 55
Point Spread: -2.50 | -105.00 Southern (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking SOUTHERN here. Had these guys in their win to get here. Look. These guys are the last 2 teams on the seed list. Holy Cross ranking dead last. And why not. They had 10 wins before someone winning 4 in a row. But let's be honest here. I know in the past Holy Cross has been NCAA darlings. People. That was 2001,2002,2003. A long, long time ago. This is a bad team. They played Kansas, losing by 33 and Rhode Island, lost by 18. I think the bell sounds tonight. I expect Southern to come out hard here. In 2013, they gave the Zags a scare dropping a 64-58 game when Gonzaga was the 1 seed. A little bit more recent tourney experience. This year, they lost at Arkansas (18) and Memphis (5) and beat Mississippi State (4), Tulane (8) and Wyoming (10). Both teams know this is a winnable spot for them. Holy Cross might be in a 'better' conference, but I think the hungry Jaguars get us the win here. 5* Best Bet SOUTHERN JAGUARS
