Texas A&M-CC Islanders vs. New Orleans Privateers Prediction

I’m on the Privateers here. I like this home court edge for New Orleans and I just can’t get on board with the inconsistency going on with the Islanders right now. I think there’s just a lot of hidden talent in New Orleans’ ranks starting at the top with Benson, and all in all, I like New Orleans to bag the win and cover at home here. Give me New Orleans.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: New Orleans +1.5
