Free Betting Pick: DePaul Blue Demons -15
This spread may seem large, but the DePaul Blue Demons should have no problem handling the Longwood Lancers. The DePaul Blue Demons were a below average team in the Big East, but Longwood was one of the worst teams in the Big South (5-11, 9th) which tells me they won’t be ready for a powerful DePaul team. Max Strus has put on a show all season for the Blue Demons as he is one of the most underrated players in the country, and I think he continues to show that here on his home court. DePaul has continued to prove that they can score the ball at a high rate which is problematic for Longwood as they rank 245th in the nation in team scoring. DePaul wins and covers, 85-65.
