These games are far and away more important to the Texas A&M-CC Islanders, who don’t get to play this sort of competition all the time. Texas A&M-CC has also been rather impressive through three games, which includes leading Texas A&M with less than 15 minutes left to play. The Denver Pioneers are the more talented team overall, but they’re also playing their third game in a row. Possible tired legs for Denver here. I’ll take the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders and the expected points.
