Albany vs. Bryant Prediction
I’m on Bryant here. The Bulldogs have been far more reliable in conference play than the Great Danes have been especially on the defensive end of the floor. The Great Danes have a solid offense, but I don’t expect them to be able to keep up and hold down Bryant’s offense long enough to contend here. Give me the Bulldogs at home in this one.
Chris’s Pick Bryant -5.5
