Pick

Northern Iowa comes into this game after winning their first game of the MVC Tournament on Thursday and will be warmed up and ready to go for this one. Bradley will be playing their first game of the tournament and they finished first in the MVC standings this year. Bradley has won 10 games in a row and has played terrific defense this season. Bradley has held opponents to 61 points or fewer in five of their last six games. Bradley won both of the first two meetings between these two teams by scores of 68-53 and 77-69. I think Northern Iowa is going to cause some issues for Bradley in this game and I like them with the points here.
