Wednesday, March 20th brings you the East Reginal play in game between the 16 seeds as the North Carolina Central Eagles take on the North Dakota State Bison in a win or go home game, live from the University of Dayton Arena. The winner gets the chance to face off against the overall number one seed Duke Blue Devils.
Both teams have four neutral site wins on the year, but ND State played in seven of those types of games this year, so they might hold the upper hand in this game in Ohio.
North Carolina Central Eagles
North Carolina Central gained their bid to the Dance by winning the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s automatic bid when they beat Norfolk State 50-47 on Saturday.
This will be the fourth appearance for the Eagles in the Tournament as a Division I side, however they did win a Division II Championship in 1989 over the SE Missouri State Redhawks. Don’t hold your breath waiting on them to make a run in this years tournament.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Eagles scored well below their season average of 67.7 points per game in their conference championship win on Saturday, something that they will have to try and get back to if they want to beat the high scoring Bison in this opening game.
Over the span of three games in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Tournament, the Eagles managed to average 63.3 points per game, with a high of 75 against Delaware State. Seeing how they gave up a average of 72.3 points per game all season long, they will need to score more than that 75 points to beat North Dakota State.
North Dakota State Bison
North Dakota State punched their ticket to the Tournament by winning the Summit League Tournament against Omaha. The Bison finished their regular season at 9-7, the third best record in the Summit.
This will be ND State’s fourth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, with their best showing coming in the 2014 edition, when they advanced past the first weekend into the round of 32 by beating the #5 seed Oklahoma Sooners 80-75. They should win here, but that may be as far as they advance once again.

The Bison have a pretty potent offense coming into the Tournament, averaging 73.7 points per game, while being just stingy enough on the defensive side, giving up an average of 67.9 points per game. Both of which are better than NCCU’s season averages.
North Dakota State scored 235 points in their conference tournament, for an average of 78.3 points per game. They lost three out of five games heading into that tournament, so they look to be peaking at the right time, as they hope to at least tie their highest finish in the NCAA Tournament.
CBB Betting Trends:
- NCCU is 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall
- NCCU is 16-6 in their last 22 games as the Underdog
- Over is 11-1 in NDSU’s last 12 Wednesday games
- NDSU is 33-13 in their last 46 games as the the Favorite
Free North Carolina Central Eagles vs. North Dakota State Bison NCAAB Prediction:
Both of these two schools finished third in their respective conferences in the regular season, and they both showed that they know how to show up and perform under the pressures of a tournament situation, so this should be a hard fought battle till the end.
North Dakota State is still the better team in this game, and they should be able to come out the victors in this one. These play in games are hard to judge though, but I’m still leaning towards the Bison in this first game.
