Saint Joseph’s Hawks vs UMass Minutemen. The NCAAB pick for this game is the UMass Minutemen. Both teams have advantages and disadvantages.

I believe UMass coach Matt McCall’s comments about his squad being underworked will resonate with his players. They are strong at home, finishing 7-4 overall, which isn’t terrible for a club that struggled in the conference and away from home (2-5).

UMass has a lot of talented shooters as well, averaging over 39% from long range at home. Take UMass to bounce back after their most recent home loss. The UMass Minutemen will win by a predicted score of 79-74.
