Pick

Colgate comes into this game undefeated in conference play and has a two game lead in the Patriot League standings. Boston was able to snap their losing streak in their last game, but they are sitting towards the bottom of the standings. Colgate is the much better offensive team in this matchup and they are shooting over 50% from the field. Colgate won the first meeting between these teams by a score of 77-71 on January 11th. I think we will see more of the same here, so I like Colgate on the road.
