OddsChecker: Take Princeton with the points vs. Missouri

Sports Chat Place: Go with Princeton with the points against Missouri

Chris Ruffolo writes: "I get why Missouri’s favored here and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Missouri got the win in this game. However, this feels like a lot of points with a Princeton team that’s got some confidence after a monumental upset, and a Princeton team that’s only being outscored by 1 PPG in the underdog role this season. Perhaps another upset is on the cards? Give me Princeton and the points."

Sporting News: Missouri 78, Princeton 68

Nick Musial writes: "Missouri's ability to push the pace on offense and space the floor with its plethora of shooters should be enough to notch a multi-possession win over Princeton. Princeton's come-from-behind victory over Arizona showcased that it can knock off anyone in the country, but Missouri's a tough team to play on a quick turnaround, and their ninth-rated offense hits enough shots to advance to the second weekend."

Pete Fiutak writes: {"It was inexcusable that Arizona - with its bulk and interior talent - only shot seven free throw. Missouri might have that in the first half. Princeton will once again be tough enough and execute well enough to be around late. Owning the boards will help, and it'll keep on scoring against the leaky Tiger D. However, those other Tigers won't wilt late. Free throws will make the difference."
