Loyola Maryland vs. Colgate Picks
Point Spread Pick for Loyola Maryland vs. Colgate
- Colgate Raiders to cover. (4 Units)
The Raiders have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 79 points per game in their last three games, while making over 45 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 85 percent of their free throws, while the Greyhounds make 75 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than seven offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances, and they’ve been very careful with the ball, turning it over less than 10 times per game in their last three games, so don’t expect them to give up many easy-scoring chances. The Greyhounds aren’t very good defensively, and they give up more than 80 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Raiders. Take Colgate to cover the spread.
