Boston University vs Albany Picks and Prediction – 11/30/2023

It is a matchup of Hounds as The Boston University Terriers prepare to take on the UAlbany Great Danes. Get ready for the college basketball season with our college basketball picks.

The Terriers (2-4), have looked brilliant in a 95-79 win against Bryant. However, in every other game against D-1 competition, Boston has looked flat and unable to score more than 58 points. In this one game, Otto Landrum was able to pummel his way to 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. This is atypical as Landrum typically averages half as many in all three categories. That game is the only point where things have gone right for Boston. The Terriers have looked disjointed and unable to put together any efficient offense in any other contest. If Landrum can recapture that brilliance and do so more consistently, The Terriers could be a team to watch, otherwise it is hard to imagine Boston winning many matchups.

The UAlbany Great Danes (3-3) have had an up-and-down start to the season themselves. The Great Danes had a commendable 78-75 win against Columbia, and 2 victories against struggling sides, Army and Siena. Otherwise, The Great Danes look outmatched by the opposition. UAlbany has more options for scoring. Amar'e Marshall (18 PPG), Sebastian Thomas (16.7 PPG), and Jonathan Beagle pitch in, but there is not a lot of consistency in The Great Danes' offense. UAlbany looks the better team, but it will be tough for The Great Danes to cover a 7 point spread.
