#244 Samford comes in with a record of 6-1 but only one good win. A win at #128 Oregon St. 78-77. Three of those wins were against non DI schools. Their only game against a team ranked in the top 100 was a 77-55 loss at #32 San Francisco. #59 Belmont comes in with a record of 6-2. A opening game loss to #103 Ohio on the road 92-80 and a bad loss to #14 LSU 83-53. Belmont has played 3 teams ranked in the 200's (by KenPom) and had 3 blow out wins, 81-43 over #227 Evansville, 97-78 at #275 Kennesaw St., and 94-65 over #214 Lipscomb. This is a very good veteran Belmont team who tends to beat up on lesser opponents. Give me the boys from Nashville to keep the hammer down and win this one by 15+.
