KenPom ranks Colgate at No. 179 nationally and Northeastern at 227. The Fighting Toothpastes pushed ranked Michigan State in their opener and were picked to finish third in the Patriot League. Colgate has three key players back from last year led by preseason all-league pick Jalen Cox. NE trailed in this series by 10 at home last season but rallied for a close win. The Huskies might be too reliant on just one player: LA Pratt, who played a whopping 42 minutes in the opening OT loss to Boston U (and had 26 points). Let's get him into early foul trouble shall we Colgate? ESPN BPI has the home side by 5 and Massey by 4. Our model has the road team winning. Certainly possible.
