(NCAAB) UMass vs. Richmond,
Money Line: -123.00 Richmond (Home)
Result: Win
10* Richmond (A-10 GOY)

Richmond finished 14-17 and it backed its way into the tournament with three straight SU/ATS losses in a row. That includes in their finale, a 62-60 setback to GMU as a 2.5-point favorite. Note though that the Spiders are 7-2 ATS in their last nine coming off a SU/ATS conference home loss. They're also 4-1 ATS in their last five after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. The Spiders also play with revenge after an 85-76 loss to UMass as 2.5-point favorites on the road back in January. Note that Richmond is 5-2 ATS in its last seven in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent as well. The Minutemen finished 15-15 overall. They closed out the year with a 71-60 win over St. Bonnies, the overwhelming situational factors working in favor of the Spiders here makes them the correct call in my opinion; the play is Richmond!
