Albany vs UMKC Prediction
The Albany Great Danes have had a soft schedule up to this point, so it’s going to be interesting to see how they do against tougher competition. The UM Kansas City Roos lost yesterday, but they continue to compete, get after it defensively, and they’ve played Iowa State and Creighton. The UM Kansas City Roos are the more battle-tested team and that could pay off with both teams on the end of a back-to-back. Give me the Roos and whatever the line is.
