George Washington Colonials at Monmouth Hawks
[h=1]Pick: GW +4[/h]In this NIT quarterfinals matchup you’ve got a solid squad in the GW Colonials heading to New Jersey to face off against top tournament snub in Monmouth. GW comes into this one having gone 6-4 in their last 10 games; however, all of those recent losses have been by 7 or less points. The Colonials are pretty solid on both sides of the ball, averaging 75.4 points per game (121[SUP]st[/SUP]) and giving up an average of 69.1 points per game (104[SUP]th[/SUP]). Senior forward transfer Tyler Cavanaugh can really fill it up for the Colonials, as he averages 16.5 ppg, and I think he steps up and has a big game today. Monmouth comes into this one having won 8 of their last 10 games, with both losses coming to the hands of Iona. The Hawks are a very interesting team when looking at the statistics, as they average 79.7 ppg (29[SUP]th[/SUP]), but only shoot 43.8% from the field (194[SUP]th[/SUP]). On the other side of the ball they give up 71.9 ppg(177[SUP]th[/SUP]), but are able to hold teams to just 39.2% from the field (12[SUP]th[/SUP]). At the end of the game, I think this one comes down to a last shot or last possession, so I’m taking GW to cover with help from the four-point spread.
