The CAA is one of the most underrated conferences in college basketball. George Mason finally put this conference on the map a bit with their run to the Final Four a few years ago, and this conference continues to play some very good basketball.
Old Dominion can move into a tie for second in the league with a win here, while James Madison sits slightly behind at 9-7 in the conference.
The Old Dominion Monarchs have one huge area that stands out as a huge key to the team’s success. Old Dominion leads the nation in offensive rebounding, which helps them get all kinds of second chance opportunities. The Monarchs get an offensive rebound on just over 44% of their shot attempts, which is quite amazing.
ODU is also stellar at keeping their opponent off the offensive glass. The Monarchs play lockdown defense and they simply are a difficult matchup for anyone. 
James Madison has actually lost three of their last four CAA home games, which has dropped them back in the standings a bit. This is a team with plenty of talent, but they are a little inconsistent. Denzel Bowles leads the team in scoring at 18.5 points per game. He also snags 9.1 rebounds per game, and the Dukes will need him to be strong on the glass against Old Dominion.
James Madison isn’t as strong on the defensive end of the court, and they tend to allow a few too many open opportunities from beyond the arc.
Trends:
OLDOM are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Thu. games.
Under is 6-2-1 in JMAD last 9 Thu. games.
The Pick:
I expect this to be a well-played basketball game that stays close all the way. Old Dominion is not out of the conversation for an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, but they must win games like this one. I think the Monarchs will find a way to win this one at the end.
Prediction: Old Dominion 64 James Madison 61
