Pick

I’m taking a shot with North Alabama in this one, I know Bellarmine has had North Alabama’s number in the history between these two, but North Alabama is playing the better basketball right now, and even at home, this feels like a lot of points to lay with a Bellarmine team that’s been pretty inconsistent as of late. I’ll side with the Lions and the points here.
