UAlbany’s offense faces a road test

UAlbany has scored 70.5 points per game and shot 45% from the field, though its 28% three-point shooting leaves room for improvement. Ollie Engen leads the Great Danes with 18.0 points and 5.5 assists per game, giving them a scorer who also helps create opportunities for teammates.

The Great Danes opened with wins over Rhode Island College and Manhattan, but their last two games brought home losses to Merrimack and Dartmouth. They scored 60 against Merrimack before reaching 76 against Dartmouth, a better offensive showing that still ended in an 85-76 defeat. Their 72-68 win at Manhattan is their only completed road game, and it showed they can finish a close contest away from home. The question is whether they can recover defensively after allowing 73 and 85 points in their two most recent outings.

Holy Cross needs more stops

Holy Cross has allowed 92.7 points per game while scoring 64.0, a difficult gap for a team trying to earn its first victory. The Crusaders have shot 37% from the field. Tristen Wilson leads them with 15.3 points per game, and Chuck Hare averages 6.3 rebounds.

The Crusaders have lost to Rhode Island, Villanova and Furman, allowing at least 80 points in each game. Their offense has moved from 59 points against Rhode Island to 66 against Villanova and 67 against Furman, but that progression has not yet produced a win. The 80-67 loss to Furman was their first completed home game and their closest result so far. If Holy Cross can build on that narrower margin, it may give itself a better chance to stay with UAlbany than its first two results suggested.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: UAlbany Great Danes.

UAlbany gets the nod because its stronger field-goal shooting and less costly defensive results offer a clearer path to a win. Its two straight losses, however, make a Crusaders response plausible.
