While this Valparaiso vs Belmont matchup should be won by Belmont in the end, we are taking the 13.5 points with Valparaiso. Valpo is not a very good basketball team, but both of these teams have struggled on defense throughout the year. Belmont should be able to outscore the Beacons in this game, but we don’t trust the Bruins to get enough stops to cover this massive number to kick off their Missouri Valley tournament campaign.
