Bryant Bulldogs vs Southern Utah Thunderbirds Point Spread Picks

The end of a three-game tournament in San Diego, playing three games in three days. Southern Utah had to play a powerhouse San Diego State team in their last game, getting smacked around, but this is a decent squad. They have fine balance with Jackson Stevenett scoring, a play-making guard in Roy Jones (4.5 assists per game) and height/experience up front with 6-6 senior Ramell Taylor and Wade Collie. They beat UC Davis in the opener with a whopping 40-22 rebounding edge (11-3 on the offensive glass). Two players had double-digits in rebounds that game and there is exceptional balance on offense with four players in double-digit scoring. By contrast, Bryant College is a one-man show with 6-6 sophomore Alex Francis (20 points per game), leading in scoring and rebounding. Bryant lacks depth, going with five players yesterday who averaged 31-38 minutes in a win over UC Davis. In two games they've shot just 37%. Meanwhile, by getting blown out by SDSU yesterday, Southern Utah had only one player top 29 minutes. They will use that advantage, as well as their edges in depth, balance and rebounding today. Play on Southern Utah.
