Let's put it this way, Monmouth has no chance of breaking 60's in this game. If and when they start to control tempo you'll see Miss St start to rush and take early shots. Bowers is a great leader and will ultimately lead his team to victory, I expect to see a 31-22 halftime score. Monmouth is a GREAT 2nd half team, they lull you into a sense of confidence and all of a sudden a back door cut and a long 3 ball and its a 4 pt game...that's what they do. They will then extend their defense out of nowhere, pressure the ball at the top, jump the passing lane and cause a ton of over the back fouls because of their strong fundamentals on the glass...If Monmouth can weather the first 5 minutes of the game it will be a great game which Miss St will ultimately win....something along the lines of 68-55..not even close to the spread...
