Delaware Blue Hens vs North Dakota State Bison Point Spread Picks

Delaware has not played since December 7, and they gave Notre Dame all they could handle in that one before falling by five points. They now have to shake off the rust from exam breaks, and travel all the way to the Bad Lands to take on North Dakota State. The Bison also had a crack at the Irish, and pulled off the upset at South Bend, beating the Irish 73-69. The Bison are well tested, having also faced Ohio State and St. Mary's, and have a strong track record at home where their only blemish on the season is a one point loss to Southern Miss. The Bison have been a strong 19-8 ATS playing outside the conference in their last 27. They could be challenged here by a competent Delaware team, but in the end, the home court serves them well. Play on North Dakota State on the money line. Also take the UNDER. Yes, both teams can score and Delaware is by no means a defensive stalwart. But, the Bison can play defense (70 per game allowed per game overall and just 54 per game allowed in this building). The Blue Hens are 9-2 UNDER in their last 11 non-conference games as well. Go with the Bison straight-up and the UNDER.
