Colgate Needs Its Offense to Travel

Andrew Alekseyenko leads Colgate with 20.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, giving the Raiders a clear focal point. Yet the team is shooting 40 percent from the field and averaging 69.7 points. Better shooting would help Colgate keep pace without relying on Alekseyenko to carry every possession.

All three Colgate games have ended in road losses, but the scores tell different stories. The Raiders stayed close in a 77-74 defeat at Drexel, showing they can remain competitive away from home. They also scored 76 at Washington, though the Huskies reached 90. Most recently, St. John's held Colgate to 59 while scoring 90. That progression makes the offensive response important: Colgate has produced enough to challenge an opponent on one trip, but its latest outing offered little margin when the scoring dried up.

Delaware Looks to Recover Its Scoring Touch

Delaware has the stronger early shooting profile, making 46 percent of its field goals and 45 percent of its three-point attempts. Chuck Bailey III averages 20.3 points, while DeShawn Harris-Smith contributes 7.7 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game. That combination gives the Blue Hens multiple ways to organize their offense.

Delaware opened with a 105-44 home win over Notre Dame (MD), but its next two games were much tighter and less productive offensively. The Blue Hens scored 64 in a 73-64 loss at Wisconsin, then returned home and scored 61 in a 71-61 defeat to James Madison. Those results temper the impact of the opener: Delaware has shown it can score freely, yet its recent games have required it to work through lower-scoring contests. Finding more consistent offense at home would ease the pressure on its defense.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Delaware Blue Hens.

Delaware's stronger shooting profile and home setting give it the edge, especially after Colgate's latest offensive setback. The Blue Hens' own two-game slide keeps this from looking straightforward.
