Tennessee State vs Colorado State Prediction
Colorado State was able to cruise to an easy win in their first game against North Dakota and even though they only made four three pointers in the game, they played great defense for the blowout win. The Rams shot nearly 60% from the field and had 25 assists, so their offense was rolling inside the three-point line. Tennessee State beat up on a non-D-1 team in their season opener, which doesn’t help us get a feel for their team at all. I liked what I saw from this Colorado State team defensively and I think they can give Tennessee State plenty of trouble, so I like the under in this matchup.
