Opening SN Predictions

[jcfrancis]

Friday, Dec. 13

No. 7 seed Towson (11-2) at X-No. 2 seed Eastern Illinois (12-1), 8 p.m. (ESPN2) - Towson has to avoid the EIU first-quarter scoring crush that is a ridiculous 243-38 advantage.

Saturday, Dec. 14

Coastal Carolina (12-2) at X-No. 1 seed North Dakota State (12-0), noon (ESPN) - Despite the Bohl coaching news, the Bison can feel Frisco from their half of the bracket.

Jacksonville State (11-3) at X-No. 3 seed Eastern Washington (11-2), 4 p.m. (ESPN3) - It's just too hard to picture Jacksonville State in the national semifinals.

X-New Hampshire (9-4) at No. 4 seed Southeastern Louisiana (11-2), 7 p.m. (ESPN3) - Two strong offenses. UNH's might be a little better.

Good to see at least two games on television. EIU versus Towson should be the best of the weekend, but all games have interesting match-ups. How will NDSU deal with the coaching change? Can JSU's running attack slow the EWU passing game? Which offense will prove superior in Louisiana? Great weekend ahead.

So if Towson and Jax State upset, does the road to Frisco really run through Towson!?!
