Take Seattle -3 over Texas State (Tuesday @ 9pm est)

Seattle is the better team here. And, ironically we get the better team who has lost to Texas State twice. I like taking teams who have lost to their opponents twice heading into conference tournament play. It makes for the uglier team typically to step-up as a big underdog such as your South Carolina State for example as they are less likely to be intimidated. Though Seattle is favored here and not that typical ugly dog, they will play the dog role facing Texas State having lost to them twice by a bucket each time essentially. This is a team that has good senior leadership and it is very difficult for a team to lose to another team 3 straight times without a cover. Even in the NBA when you look at it, you would have noticed Washington destroy the Bobcats to avoid losing to that team 3 straight times. That is the case here likely as Seattle is a bit better in the power rankings and though their straight up wins won't impress you, they certainly have had the goods to stay in contests against quality teams this year. For example, this team covered against Texas San Antonio as a 4 point underdog winning outright by 16, or covering against Idaho losing by 4 points as a 7 point underdog or losing to New Mexico State by 3 points as a 14 point underdog. I like Seattle here as Texas State comes off a huge win in their last game and could be in for a let down here as it is also difficult to get up to play a team that you have beat twice already this year in close contests.
