Top College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Colgate vs. Army
You know it’s a slow day when Colgate vs. Army is the second-best game on the slate. But here we are. Colgate is also a team that shoots many threes, scoring at a 42.5 percent clip, the best shooting percentage from deep in the nation.
Colgate is better than Army in many ways, but both have equally sub-par defenses, with neither ranking in the top 250 in defensive efficiency. Army reps a dynamic offense that spreads out their scoring and limits the offensive rebound and second-chance opportunities.
Colgate is the better team, but 8.5 points is a lot. With Colgate’s lacking interior defense – 310th two-point defense in the nation – I expect Army to keep it close in West Point.
Play: Army +8.0
Other Plays:
- Morgan State -8.5
- Alcorn -6.5
