North Dakota vs St. Thomas-Minnesota Prediction
St. Thomas-Minnesota has been one of the more consistent teams in the Summit, is playing the better ball, has the rest advantage, and smoked North Dakota in both games this season. St. Thomas-Minnesota scored 88 and 86 points in both games, looking way too comfortable offensively. North Dakota is on the end of a back-to-back, and I doubt the legs are fresh enough to improve defensively against this St. Thomas-Minnesota squad. St. Thomas-Minnesota is a top-20 scoring offense, and it is top-10 in offensive field goal percentage and three-point percentage. Terrible spot for North Dakota. Give me St. Thomas-Minnesota and whatever the line is.
