College Basketball Betting Trends
Boston
The Terriers are 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall. Boston is 8-22 ATS in its last 30 games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600.
Colgate
The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Colgate is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 Wednesday games.
Prediction:
The Raiders defeated the Terriers by nine at home and 16 on the road, but this seems like one of those situations where the third time is a lot more difficult. The dreams of playing in the NCAA Tournament are on the line for Boston too and its only two losses in its last seven games have been a pair of road games by two points each including one in overtime. I’d rather take the points tonight.
