Mid Tenn +4
Have a huge advantage talent wise. Mizz St record is hiding just how little talent this team has. Cuonzo Martin is doing a great job, but this is still a team that will struggle when they run up against superior talent. Mid Tenn doesn't have that name brand, but they have the athletes. Fact behind that is every coach in their league (Sun Belt) picked them to finish first, and that is a solid league with teams such as So Alabama, and West Kentucky, who made it to the sweet 16 last season. The Blue Raiders have conference player of the year Desmond Yates leading the way, averaging 18.2ppg, and he is complimented by 7 other returning players. There aren't many teams that you will find who return 8 contributing players! It helps that they aren't just seniors, they are athletic, talented seniors. Coach Kermit Davis stressed defense, and rebounding in the pre season and they have delivered owning a +5 rebounding advantage. I expect the more veteran, talented team to win out

Little bit of both. Indiana has shown they can protect their home court, while NE hasn't proved they can go on the road and win. The freshman that Crean has do have some talent. I mean they were recruited to Indiana, not Northeastern. Most importantly Crean has them playing hard. That is all you can ask is to play hard, and they do just that. Talent wise I would say they are slightly better than northeastern, just not as experienced on the D1 level. I think they continue their success on their home court tonight
