St. Thomas – Minnesota vs Northern Colorado Prediction

Northern Colorado still has some showing and proving to do after playing just one D1 team so far this season. I’m not trying to back a team still figuring out what it is, especially on a neutral court. St. Thomas is off to a decent start to the season, which includes two straight covers, and I trust the Tommies a bit more offensively. St. Thomas-Minnesota will have the best player on the floor and has covered 18 of its last 28 games as a favorite. I’ll lay the number with the Tommies.
