I'm going to the Summit League to try to find my fifth straight winning free play after cashing with underdog St. John's, a 21-point winner against Seton Hall, as my free play on Monday night. 

North Dakota State is 7-2 at home. The Bison are 12-7 overall, including 4-3 in the Summit League. 

But the basis of my handicap is to go against Saint Thomas. The Tommies are 8-10 overall and 2-4 in the Summit. They have lost and failed to cover their past three games losing those contests by an average margin of 13.6 points. All three of those defeats came at home, too.

The Tommies last were on the road Dec. 22. They are 1-5 SU during their last six true road contests. 

North Dakota State should be in for a big scoring night as the Tommies rank 347th in defensive field goal percentage.
