I really like Oakland in this game. I think they would bounce back from a horrific loss, whether Northern Kentucky had Walton or not. But without Walton, the Norse have little chance to win games, unless they make it ugly. And Oakland can win ugly, considering they average just 64 points per game. But losing Walton doesn't just hurt in terms of their offense, but he also led the team in rebounding. Without Walton, Hill-Mais and Daniel Oladipo (6-7, 220) should have their way inside.

Oakland gets the win here in this one.
