Free Holy Cross Crusaders vs Lafayette Leopards NCAAB Prediction:
One should expect a competitive, low-scoring matchup amongst two teams that continue to stink things up on the offensive end. Also, both squads will attempt to push the pace in which to catch the opposing defense on its heels. However, with lingering consistencies plaguing both teams, look for momentum to swing back and forth constantly. In the end, look for the Leopards to play just enough defense while converting late in the contest in which to pick up a slim, 65-55 win over the struggling Crusaders to atone for an earlier loss.
4* Free NCAAB Betting Pick: Lafayette Leopards +2
While both offenses will struggle in this contest, the home team will shine in the second half as they will pull away from an awful road team in the Crusaders en route to covering the small spread in the end. The under will also be yet another area that I would explore for this matchup as well, considering the overall state of the offenses that will be taking the floor.
