The Colgate Raiders have been amazing on both sides of the court this season as they are averaging 76.7 PPG while giving up an average of 66.1 PPG, and they have a ton of scoring depth as 5 different guys are averaging over 10 PPG. The Lehigh Mountain Hawks have really struggled on both sides of the court this season as they are allowing an average of 74.2 PPG, and they will have a tough time containing the Colgate scoring attack that scored 81 points against the Mountain Hawks in their latest matchup. The Raiders can really light it up from behind the three-point line as they are connecting on 37.6% of their attempts, and they will blow it up for that reason. Final Score Prediction, Colgate Raiders win and cover ATS 77-62.
