Brown vs Bryant Prediction
Brown comes into this matchup on a four-game winning streak and they just picked up an impressive road win against Vermont. The Bears have allowed 54 and 53 points in their last two games, and they have scored at least 77 in three of their last four. Bryant has won two of their last three games, but they are shooting just 43.2% from the field and they are allowing nearly 80 points per game on defense. I like how Brown is currently playing and they should find plenty of success against this Bryant defense. Take the Bears here.
