The pick — Robert Morris to win Horizon League Tournament (+270, FanDuel)
The Financiers of the Horizon are about to cash a fat check. Honestly, it’s rather stunning Robert Morris is available at significant plus money to cut down the nets.
The Colonials are the only league representative inside BartTorvik’s BARTHAG top 150 in games played over the last 30 days. During the stretch, they are top-50 nationally in effective field goal percentage offense and effective field goal percentage defense. That’s beautiful balance.

Spaniand Alvaro Folgueiras has especially proven muy caliente. In the regular season, the stretch big averaged 14.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game and splashed 42.0% on on 3-pointers. A double-double threat every time he takes the floor, the 6-foot-9 sophomore’s versatility is tough to mitigate.
Andrew Toole’s team enters the Horizon League tourney having won seven in a row and 13 of its last 14 games. Robert Morris’ lone loss since early January was a 66-64 defeat at Wright State.
Spectacular at generating second chances (36.6 offensive rebounding percentage over the last nine contests), the top-seeded Colonials should fend off fights from Milwaukee, Cleveland State and others to gleefully Dance.
