CBI Final Odds

Point spread: MTSU -5
Total: 139

The pick: MTSU -5

Middle Tennessee State has shot better than 40 percent from 3-point range in a couple of its CBI Tournament games thus far, with at least 20 attempts in each. UNC-Wilmington is one of the worst teams in the nation at defending the three ball, allowing 36.2 percent shooting on average. That plus the Blue Raiders’ stronger defense — they rank among Division I’s top 60 in effective field-goal percentage allowed and 3-point defense — should enable them to triumph here.
