Belmont vs. UIC Prediction

You may not believe this, but Belmont is the best shooting team in the country, ranking first in effective field goal percentage. Now, they face a UIC team that ranks 305th in that metric. The Bruins are also better defensively, outranking UIC 70th to 95th in defensive efficiency.

The only reason why Belmont is a bigger favorite is that Nic McClain, their point guard, is questionable for the game. Even if he's out, I have a lot of faith in the Bruins' top scorers still getting enough points to cruise past a bad UIC team.
