T.M. Selection: WVU (10* OPENING ROUND GAME OF YEAR).

Morehead State has won seven in a row and advanced here by beating Belmont in the OVC Tournament Championship game. The Eagles aren't a high-scoring team, but they make up for it on the defensive end by conceding just 63.4 PPG. The Eagles played two ranked teams this year and were annihilated by each, falling 81-45 to Kentucky and 77-44 to Ohio State. WVU has a big chance here to turnaround a poor ending to the regular season. WVU has four players averaging in double figures and I can't see the Eagles keeping pace in the second-half. Note as well that the Mountaineers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite, while Morehead State is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine neutral site contests as an underdog. Look for the hungry Mountaineers to press from start to finish and lay the points!

T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY.
