St. Thomas-Minnesota vs UM Kansas City Prediction
The UM Kansas City Roos will have their chances at home, but I can’t pull the trigger. UMKC has lost four straight games and doesn’t shoot the ball well enough to scare decent teams. The St. Thomas-Minnesota Tommies are looking like the potential team to beat in the Summit, and they have five road wins on the season. St. Thomas is an elite offensive team that’s 10th in points per game, ninth in field goal percentage, and seventh in three-point percentage. The UM Kansas City Roos just don’t have the offensive horses to keep up if that sort of production is brought to the table. I’ll lay the bucket with the Tommies.
