Marist has cut it to 1 and going to the line with 3:21 left
Providence was up 20 on Holy Cross but saw it dwindle to 6 with about a minute left. They should hold on as they're up 8 with the ball and :23 left
X holds onto to get Junior a win over Marist in his debut.
Nova/BYU on TNT.
Dybantsa with a good start.
BYU is scary.
Give Nova credit for hanging around. They're hitting triples and have controlled the pace.
Lindsay has been really good for Nova.
By my count, BE went 5-4 against the spread. Not great for the conference computer numbers.

I mean it's certainly not bad.

Underperforming against cupcakes is how the BE loses tourney bids.
The conference as a whole finished at 16.5 points below the expected cumulative spread.
Already digging a whole on opening night is less than ideal.

If we consistently go 5-4 against the spread throughout non conference our metrics will be better than predicted, assuming the "losses" aren't by a huge margin.
If you can consistently do better than 5-4 against the spread...you should quit your day job.
