Northern Colorado Bears vs Texas A&M-Commerce Lions prediction
The Texas A&M-Commerce Lions are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home and this is a weird early start on a week day. However, we shouldn't expect a big showing from the crowd due to the odd time slot, so I don't think home court means much here. The Northern Colorado Bears have shown more in 8 games as they've been competitive in all of their games, and they have better offensive depth. Texas A&M-Commerce doesn't have many guys who can create their own shot, and the offense goes through droughts. I'll take a shot with Northern Colorado and the free bucket in this early game.
