Oakland/ND State (8:00pm et)- ND State has ruled the conference going 18-2 this year losing 1 time to Oakland on the road, but they rebounded and beat the same team at home by 10.  Oakland also a great team in the conference going 15-5 this year, but I do not think they will have the edge today.  After all they will be playing their 3rd game in 3nights, while ND State got a little extra night playing in their 3rd game in 4 nights.  I think that will help and go in ND State's favor tonight.  Oakland is just 7-10 this season on the road while NDS is 10-4 and has the confidence to get it done on a neutral court. When NDS lost by just 1 to this team they shot just 41.9FG% well below season average and they gave up 49.1FG% including 50% from beyond the arch and they were out rebounded by 1.  All of that and they lost by just 1.  It seems like it's going to take a great effort for Oakland to win again here today.  So we are going to take the short favorite in North Dakota State in a ESPN battle here tonight.   North Dakota has the better defense, FT%, rebound margin, and they are forcing more TO's.  Look for a similar result to the last match up as ND State still does not like that they lost to this team this season.  Take ND State -4 (6** NCAAB POD)[/b][/b]
