East Carolina vs St Bonaventure Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
St. Bonaventure -9.0(-110)

East Carolina University will take the court against St. Bonaventure on Thursday afternoon in the Fort Myers Tip-Off Tournament. Both teams lost earlier in this tournament – ECU fell to Michigan State 89-56, while St. Bonaventure lost 85-70 to UNC. With both teams looking to rebound, the Bonnies have a slight advantage in this matchup, and here’s why. 

East Carolina has lost three in a row, and during that stretch, they haven’t shot the ball well at all. On the season, the Pirates are shooting just 40.3% from the field and averaging 69.3 points per game. They also lack depth, with only two players averaging double figures, which could create problems in this matchup. As for St. Bonaventure, they’re shooting 47.2% from the field and averaging 77 points per game this season. The Bonnies have more scoring options, with three players averaging double digits, and Darryl Simmons II leads his team in scoring with 19.2 points per game. He’ll be a lot for ECU to handle as their defense is giving up 82.8 points per game this season. The Bonnies have a significantly better defense, allowing just 70.8 points per game. St. Bonaventure is the more well-rounded team in this matchup, and not to mention, they just lost to No. 16 UNC by 15 points, and ECU lost to No. 16 MSU by 33 points. Look for the Bonnies to roll in this matchup, making them my best bet of the day.
