St. Thomas Tommies vs. Seattle Redhawks Prediction
I’m on St. Thomas here. I know Seattle in these postseason tournaments can be a tough out but this is St. Thomas’ D-I postseason debut and I think the Tommies show up after their best D-I season to date and this is a Tommies team that could’ve made it out of the Summit League in past seasons as well, so to finally get a crack at postseason hoops, I think the Tommies make good on their opportunity to steal one on the road here. Give me St. Thomas and the free bucket here.
