St. Thomas – Minnesota vs Seattle Prediction
St. Thomas is a fun team that controls the pace and scores a bunch, and you can argue the wrong team is favored in this spot because of it. However, Seattle is coming off a strong season and I get the feeling they will be eager to build on it with a deep tournament run. You can also argue Maldonado will be the best player on the court. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I have to lean toward Seattle and the small number.
