A trip to Madison Square Gardens is on the line tonight when the Texas Arlington Mavericks host the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners in the NIT Quarterfinals. The Mavericks have been lights out at home, posting a home record of 14-0, where they average 83.6 points per game and give up an average of 68.2. The Mavericks latest victim was a good Akron Zips team that they routed 85-69 at home on Monday. The Roadrunners are no slouches on the road, where they are 10-6, averaging 68.4 points per game and allowing an average of 63.8. Texas Arlington will be laying 5.5 in this one and they are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. I like the Mavericks chances in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Texas Arlington Mavericks -5.5
