COLGATE RAIDERS @ DREXEL DRAGONS

Alekseyenko gives Colgate a proven scoring option

Andrew Alekseyenko scored 25 points in Colgate’s season-opening loss at Washington, giving the Raiders a scoring focal point.

Colgate can make its mark on the glass

Colgate led Washington 8-1 in first-half offensive rebounds and 13-0 in second-chance points, an extra-possession edge that could help on the road.

Drexel needs cleaner possessions

Drexel committed 21 turnovers in its opener against Virginia, making ball security important against Colgate.

A familiar matchup with a recent Colgate win

Drexel leads the all-time series 6-1, but Colgate won last season’s meeting 90-83.

No confirmed availability update

A game-specific tracker listed no reported injuries, but no official availability report was expected, so this does not confirm either team’s final lineup.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Colgate +1.5

At +1.5, consider Colgate; the available model projects a one-point game, making this a narrow lean.

Over 146.5, cautiously

The projection is 147 total points, only half a point above 146.5, so consider the Over cautiously and pass if the line rises.
