Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at Missouri Tigers

GARY'S PICK

NCAABvs Bethune-Cookman Wildcats· -110

TALE OF THE TAPE Missouri Bethune-Cookman Record 3-2 ← 2-3 Off Rating - ← - Def Rating - ← - Net Rating - ← - Key Injuries None None Gary's Take I love this spot for Missouri at home against a Bethune-Cookman group stepping up in class. Missouri’s offense is on a different level, with clear edges in scoring punch and shooting efficiency, and they’ve already posted several decisive home wins with margins well into double digits. Bethune-Cookman just showed what happens when they see high-major length in that heavy road loss at Indiana. Here’s how I see this playing out: Missouri’s guards push tempo, get into the paint, and live at the line while the bigs clean up on the offensive glass. Bethune-Cookman’s offense doesn’t have the firepower to trade baskets for 40 minutes in this building, and the talent gap plus home court should stretch this into the low-20s by the final horn. Lock it in: I’m laying it with Missouri Tigers -19.5. Only way this misses is if Missouri sleepwalks and lets Bethune-Cookman hang around from deep.
