The NIT Round 1 top play is on Santa Clara at 9 eastern. We have one of our better round 1 systems in effect here tonight that plays against road dogs in this tournament that lost their conference championship as a favorite and are taking on a team with a .650 or less win percentage. Sam Houston falls into this nasty system as these teams dont respond well on the road when their not expected to win after blowing a chance at the big dance. Santa Clara lost in the first round of their tournament and is well rested and likely get the win and cover here.
