Bucknell vs Colgate Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
In Colgate’s first game of the Patriot League Tournament, this is expected to be an easy win for the Raiders. They have been dominant in the conference this season, sporting a 16-2 record. Bucknell and Colgate have met twice this season. The Raiders came away with wins by 19 and 14 points.
However, Colgate hasn’t been dominant against the spread. And with such a large spread tonight, Bucknell is in an obvious tease spot. However, we don’t give out picks with the point spread manipulated, so we will instead look to the point total.
The Bucknell offense is bad and Colgate’s defense comes to play at home. The previous two matchups between these teams resulted in game totals of 131 and 152, with the first total coming in Hamilton. Look for the total to stay low once again tonight, as the Bison struggle getting shots to drop.
Our college basketball betting Bucknell vs Colgate prediction tonight will be total going UNDER at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Colgate a 96.5% chance to win.
