Holy Cross vs Fordham Prediction

I suppose I’ll lean toward Fordham but I’m probably not touching this one. The Rams had a bad first half against a middling Colgate team in their last outing, eventually shooting just 22.2 percent (4-of-18) from 3-point range and getting to the line just seven times (making six). Overall it wasn’t a terrible performance outside of that slow first half, but it did break a string of five straight with 69 or more points.

As for Holy Cross, they got a pretty nice win over Northeastern this week, shooting 54 percent from the field and 11-of-13 (85 percent) from the line along the way. The Crusaders notched 36 rebounds and 13 team assists in that one, alongside 46 points in the paint. Holy Cross has now won consecutive games with a combined 153 points scored in those.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Fordham Rams -9.5
