However you want to slice this, when these two teams square up, it will be a mismatch of epic proportions. For the Greyhounds sake, you hope they ride the momentum of a 14-point victory over Bucknell on the weekend into this one and give the Raiders a bit of a run for their money.
Loyola (MD) Greyhounds Easy Roadkill for Opponents
Thank goodness for two games against Bucknell this year. That’s got to be what Greyhounds’ head coach, Tavaras Hardy is saying after a difficult month where Loyola have notched just three victories, two of which came against the Bison.
At home, the Greyhounds have performed respectably, putting up a .500 record, but it’s been a disaster on the road, especially of late. Since the start of December, they own a 1-6 away record and average a paltry 53 points per game in those contests. It’s no wonder they’re such massive ‘dogs in Monday’s college basketball odds against Colgate.

According to KenPom, they have a 94.4 adjusted offensive efficiency which places them 340th overall in the country. They seem to have no care for the basketball, with a 22.5% turnover rate that puts them amongst the very worst teams in the nation.
On top of all those statistics, they can’t even seem to keep a lot of games close as the visitors. They have a 3-8 record against the spread on the road this year, losing by 15 or more points in five of those contests.
Colgate Raiders Shooting the Lights Out
In stark contrast to their opponents on Monday evening, the Raiders run one of the most efficient offensive machines in the country. They’re one of only four team to shoot over 50% from the floor, with Gonzaga, a team that’s one of the contenders in the odds to win March Madness, the only team ahead of them.
Perhaps their best offensive display of the year was on December 30th, in their prior meeting against the Greyhounds. In that game, the Raiders topped the century mark, putting up 101 points on 67% shooting, including nailing 14 triples.

Colgate have dominated recent meetings between these two sides, taking eight of the last 10 and covering the spread as chalk in each of the last four.
Making shots from beyond the arc has been a huge weapon for this Raiders offense, as they connect on 39.8% of their attempts from downtown. Seniors, Ryan Moffatt and Oliver Lynch-Daniels are the deadliest of the squad’s long range snipers with both hitting on at least 44% of their tries.

Loyola (MD) vs Colgate Prediction
While their in the same conference, let’s be honest, these two teams really aren’t in the same league. Colgate is on absolute fire, running a 10-game winning streak into this matchup.
The offense has slowed a bit of late, as they’ve failed to break the 70-point barrier in each of their last three games, but Loyola may be the perfect opponent for them to get their offense back in gear.
Laying 17.5-points is asking a lot of any squad, but these offenses operate at completely different levels. Given Colgate’s prior destruction of the Greyhounds on the road earlier this year, our prediction is to pick the Raiders to win big again.
Pick: Colgate Raiders -17.5 (-102)
