Boise and Northwestern face off tonight in round 1 of the NCAA tournament with it being the first-ever matchup between the two programs. Boise State is one of the best defensive teams in the nation, ranking 14th in defensive efficiency and holding teams to just 64 points per game and a field goal percentage of 41.28% while Northwestern is only shooting just above 40% from the field on the season. I think Boise will put the clamps on Northwestern tonight while their solid offence will get them buckets. They score 72 ppg while shooting almost 37% from the three-point line. Northwestern is on a 1-4 slide in their last 5, while Boise comes in having won 6 of their last 9 and 14 of their last 19. I think Boise wins this one convincingly tonight against a weak Northwestern team.
