CBI Tournament semifinal game from Daytona Beach -- which is only about 25 miles from the Stetson campus, so minor advantage there for the Hatters. We backed them in the quarters against Bowling Green, and Stetson won outright as a similar underdog. Coastal Carolina was one of the better teams in the Sun Belt but lost in the conference tournament semifinals to eventual champion App State. The Chants returned from a long break to beat Bryant by 11 on Monday in this event -- Bryant is better than Stetson. The Hatters are 1-4 ATS in their past five after a win.
The Hatters are playing close to home in Daytona Beach and have the edge in fan support. Thanks in part to that support, they made a furious second-half rally Monday to upset Bowling Green 53-52. It was their first-ever Division I postseason win. This is a team that beat Liberty and played a tough non-conference schedule that included Florida and Miami. Coastal Carolina is clearly the more talented team, and wants a full-court game. But look for Stetson to slow the pace, keep it close and cover for the sixth time in its last eight tries as an underdog.
