Stetson Hatters (17-13, 12-6 ASUN)

The Stetson Hatters finished the season with a 17-13 overall record and a 12-6 record in the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN), securing the fourth seed in the conference tournament. However, they were unable to make it past the quarterfinals, losing to the Lipscomb Bisons. The Hatters are an offensive-minded team that averages 78.3 points per game, but their defense is their Achilles' heel, as they concede 76.3 points per game.

The Hatters' top scorer is Jalen Blackmon, who averages 15.2 points per game, shooting 41.8% from the field. Joël Smith is their leading rebounder with 6.2 rebounds per game, while Stephan Swenson averages 4.8 assists per game.

Milwaukee Panthers (21-11, 14-6 Horizon League)

The Milwaukee Panthers finished the regular season with a 21-11 record, including a 14-6 record in the Horizon League. They advanced to the conference semifinals but lost to the Youngstown State Penguins, who eventually won the Horizon League tournament. The Panthers boast a balanced offense and defense, averaging 78.6 points per game while holding opponents to 71.1 points per game.

The Panthers' top scorer is Branden Freeman, who averages 17.4 points per game while shooting 40.1% from the field. Freeman also averages 3.0 assists per game. Marquan McCall is their leading rebounder with 6.4 rebounds per game, while DeAndre Gholston averages 1.5 steals per game.

Prediction

Both the Stetson Hatters and Milwaukee Panthers have had decent seasons, but we believe that the Panthers have the edge in this matchup. The Panthers have a more balanced team, with a better defense that can slow down the Hatters' offensive production. They also have more depth on the bench and a higher level of experience playing in postseason tournaments.

In addition, the Panthers are the more consistent team of the two. They've won six of their last ten games and have beaten some good teams along the way, such as the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons and the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. On the other hand, the Hatters have struggled in their last few games, losing three of their last five games and failing to score more than 70 points in each of those losses.

Therefore, we predict that the Milwaukee Panthers will win this game and advance to the second round of the CBI tournament. The Panthers have a good chance to cover the spread as well, which currently stands at -2 in favor of Stetson.
