Incarnate Word vs Jacksonville Prediction
Jacksonville has probably been the better team this season, but we have to question the motivation here. Jacksonville hasn’t played in 18 days and is now being asked to play a noon game in Daytona. There’s sure to be rust with Jacksonville and we could see a sloppy performance. There are also better ways to start a Monday in Florida than getting up early to play a game in the middle of Daytona. Incarnate Word has had the privilege of playing yesterday and looked sharp against Manhattan, scoring 92 points on 56 percent shooting. Incarnate Word will have its chance to win this game outright. Give me the points.
