he Holy Cross Crusaders knocked off Bucknell and figure Southern Illinois might be ripe for the upset picking as well. The champions of the Patriot League face the Salukis, upset losers in the MVC, when they battle Friday at Nationwide Arena in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Oddsmakers currently have the Salukis listed as 8-point favorites versus the Crusaders, while the game's total is sitting at 108.
The winner of this game has a chance to get out of the second round in the West Region. This could be a low-scoring affair, as both the No. 13 Crusaders and No. 4 Salukis are noted for their defense.
The Salukis were upset by Creighton 67-61 as a 2-point favorite in the MVC Tournament final last time out. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (116).
Jamaal Tatum led the Salukis with 21 point and Matt Shaw had 11 points in the upset loss.
