I give up on trying to figure out St. Thomas as the Tommies are supposed to be better at home, but they were run out of their own gym by Denver of all teams. On the flipside, Omaha is a sieve defensively as it is and I’m not looking to back either here team. I’m going to take the over as both teams can score and both are absolutely awful defensively.
