Robert Morris vs Cornell Prediction 

Robert Morris comes into this game looking to extend their winning streak to five games, and they have allowed 62 points or fewer in their last four games. The Colonials have been very solid on defense, but they are only shooting 40.4% from the field this year. Cornell is definitely the better offensive team in this matchup, but they are allowing over 75 points per game on defense. These two teams play two completely different styles, but I am going to take the better defensive team with the points. Take Robert Morris here.
