Belmont is 15-3 overall and tied for second in the Missouri Valley Conference. Valparaiso is 8-9 overall and tied for sixth in the MVC. But Belmont is vulnerable to Valparaiso in this spot. The Bruins are off a dramatic, 78-76, comeback road victory against Drake this past Saturday. Belmont came back from a 44-25 halftime deficit. Valparaiso has looked better in its last three games, going 2-1 SU and ATS. One of the victories was a 77-71 home win versus Illinois State as a 6.5-point underdog.

Pro Picks
Valparaiso at Belmont
Valparaiso will take on the Belmont Bruins in The Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Louis. Valpaparaiso has had a miserable season at 7-24 as coach Rodger Paul brought no starters back. The biggest issue for Valpo is the offense, as the Beacons have struggled to 67 PPG on the season. That will make it challenging for this game to get up to the mid-150s, especially vs a team in Belmont that is 8-4 to the UNDER in their last 12 games. The total is being driven by the 174 total points these teams produced in their most recent matchup this season. Belmont shot a season high 61.2% in that game, which is truly an outlier. Belmont Coach Alexander has seen his team play to a 44-25 mark to the UNDER when they are off an 80-point scoring game or more. Make it a Max Play on the UNDER.
