Maine vs Pennsylvania Prediction

The Maine Black Bears and Pennsylvania Quakers clash at The Palestra on November 30th. Maine comes in at 3-3 after a dominant 80-55 win against Hartford, while Penn, sitting at 2-3, is looking to rebound from a tough 93-49 loss to Villanova. This matchup pits a strong Maine offense against a Penn defense struggling to find footing. Slam dunk your bets with our College Basketball picks.

Maine is scoring an average of 71.7 points per game while shooting 43.3% from the field. AJ Lopez leads the Black Bears with 14.3 points per game, shooting an impressive 94.4% from the free-throw line. Quion Burns controls the boards, grabbing 7.7 rebounds per game, and Jaden Clayton adds 3.3 assists. 

Maine’s defensive play has been strong, limiting opponents to 65.5 points per game, with 2.8 blocks and 8.3 steals per game contributing to the success of the Black Bears. Maine's away performance, however, leaves questions as they hold just a 1-3 road record.

Pennsylvania faces an uphill battle with poor scoring at only 64.8 points per game while shooting a lackluster 37.9% from the field. Ethan Roberts has been a bright spot with 13.6 points per game, but the team’s overall offensive efficiency has lagged. 

Defensively, the Quakers have been porous, surrendering 77.0 points per game and struggling to contain opponents on the glass with just 34.2 rebounds per game. Nick Spinoso leads with 5.6 rebounds and adds a crucial defensive presence with 1.2 blocks. Penn’s recent three-game losing streak highlights the inconsistency that has plagued them this season.

Maine vs Pennsylvania Pick Analysis

Maine's ability to control the pace offensively and tighter defensive play give them the edge over a Penn team struggling on both ends. Expect Maine to exploit Penn’s defensive weaknesses, especially in transition. Final Score Prediction: Maine wins 72-64.
