Chris’ Pick
I’m leaning towards the Bonnies at home here. It’s a huge line, but the Redhawks haven’t really beaten anyone this season noteworthy and St. Bonaventure’s battle tested including a win over Oklahoma State. I just trust the Bonnies’ scoring depth and defense to get them over the finish line here, so give me St. Bonaventure in this one.
