Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Florida State<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the March Madness field they are one of a few teams that can win by just harassing you on defense for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

Their offense can be maddening but the way these guys play D they are almost always in the game in the final minutes.<\/p>\n

This first round matchup will be interesting to watch because it seems that the Seminoles play best when they are the underdog – which is not the case.<\/p>\n

That is because they seem to have shot makers as opposed to scorers.<\/p>\n

Bernard James is solid in the post and the rest of the team is comprised of some very streaky shooters. \u00a0If guard Luke Louks is getting them to fall then this team really gets a lot of confidence. \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

St. Bonaventure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bonnies might be the least likely team to make the Tournament. \u00a0They had their best regular season in a long time and followed up with an even better Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament taking the title and automatic bid.<\/p>\n

Drawing Florida State was no prize but they just might have the best player on the floor from either side.<\/p>\n

That player is senior forward Andrew Nicholson (from Canada).<\/p>\n

Maybe no other player is hotter right now as Nicholson hasn\u2019t scored less than 19 points in any of the Bonnies last 12 games including 6 double-doubles. \u00a0He will likely draw Bernard James on the other end which will make it very difficult to put up another big game.<\/p>\n

Guard Demetrius Conger is a nice player but he won\u2019t like being guarded by Michael Snaer either. \u00a0They don\u2019t really have anywhere else to turn.<\/p>\n

Spread Pick: \u00a0Florida State -6
