Columbia at BC 12/12/18 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Columbia Lions visit Silvio Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts on Wednesday to play the Boston College Eagles. Columbia improved to 3-6 on the season and won its second straight with a 74-71 victory over Iona on Sunday at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The Lions were led by Jake Killingsworth who scored 14 points. Columbia sank five free throws over the last 30 seconds to preserve the win.

Ky Bowman leads the Eagles in scoring and assists with averages of 19.1 points and 3.6 assists per game. Steffon Mitchell leads BC in rebounding with an average of 9.3 per game. Four players average double figures in scoring for the Eagles. Boston College is shooting 45.8% from the field and 30.4% from 3-point territory.

Columbia has won two straight, but Boston College has far more talent on its roster with Jordan Chatman, Ky Bowman and Steffon Mitchell amongst others. Boston College has covered the number in 5 of its last 7 following a game in which the Eagles scored 90 or more points. Columbia has its problems on the road failing to cover in 6 of the last 8 away from home. Final Score Prediction, Boston College Eagles win and cover ATS 85-69.
