Loyola-Maryland vs. Colgate prediction and odds for Monday, January 30 (Take the points with the Greyhounds)

One of the best mid-major games set for Monday night’s slim slate of college basketball games, is one between the Loyola Greyhounds and the Colgate Raiders.

Colgate is the top team in the Patriot league, sporting a flawless 10-0 record, while Loyola-Maryland has got off to a poor 3-7 record in conference play. The Greyhounds are doing their best to find some sort of momentum.

This game will serve as a rematch of a December 30th showdown in which Colgate ran away with the 101-67 win. Will history repeat itself tonight?

Let’s take a look at the odds.

Loyola vs. Colgate prediction and pick

I think the odds in this game are inflated due to the result of the first game between these two teams. Sure, Colgate is better than Loyola, but not 16.5 points better.

Colgate’s defensive play is nothing to write home about, ranking 228th in defensive efficiency and 291st in opponent effective field goal percentage. That should keep the door open for Loyola to at least keep the score respectable.

Also, let’s remember that Colgate shot an eye-popping 67.2% from the field in the previous meeting between these two teams. I don’t care how good a team is, the likelihood of them repeating those types of numbers are slim to none.

Take advantage of the DraftKings Promo listed above, and bet on Loyola to cover the spread in this Patriot league showdown.
