T.M. Selection: Northeastern.

I like Northeastern to cover the spread against UNC Wilmington in this game on Monday. Northeastern has lost 8 games in a row and they are the only team in their conference that doesn't have a win in conference play losing all 7 of those games. I think it is time for that bad losing skid to come to an end though and I expect Northeastern to pick up their 1st conference win of the year here. Northeastern is at home for this game and they have a much better chance of covering the spread here as opposed to on the road where they haven't won a game all year yet. UNC Wilmington has won 8 games in a row including all of their games in conference play this year but I think their run is going to come to an end here. Their 2 previous wins have been very close, both by within 5 points and this will now be their 4th game in a row playing on the road. I think they are going to be tired from all the road games they have had to play in a row and all of that travelling they have had to endure along with their regular school work. This will be Northeastern's 4th game in a row on their home court and they have that comfort factor of being at home for so long and not having to travel anywhere. UNC Wilmington has been putting up a great run but I think it's nearing the end and they have not been winning games convincingly lately. I like Northeastern to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 77-71 Northeastern.
