The UMBC Retrievers and the Princeton Tigers meet in college basketball action from Jadwin Gymnasium on Monday evening.
The UMBC Retrievers will be out to bounce back from a 100-71 loss at the hands of Georgetown in their last game. Keondre Kennedy leads UMBC in scoring with 14.3 PPG along with 4.7 RPG while Darnell Rogers has 12.8 PPG along with a team-high 4 APG to lead the Retrievers in assists and make up the other half of the duo of double-digit scorers for UMBC so far this year. L.J. Owens also has 9.3 PPG while Yaw Obeng-Mensah also has a team-high 5.2 RPG this season. As a team, UMBC is averaging 78.3 PPG on 43% shooting from the field, 34.7% from three and 79.7% from the foul line while allowing 72.8 PPG on 43.8% shooting from the field and 32.5% from three this season.
The Princeton Tigers will look to add to their current three-game winning streak after an 84-73 win over Lafayette last time out. Jaelin Llewellyn leads Princeton in scoring with 15.6 PPG while Ethan Wright has 14.3 PPG with a team-high 7.7 RPG and Tosan Evbuomwan has 13.5 PPG with 5.9 RPG and a team-high 6 APG to lead Princeton in assists. Ryan Langborg also has 12.5 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Princeton so far this season. As a team, Princeton is averaging 79.8 PPG on 48% shooting from the field, 37.4% from three and 67.1% from the foul line while allowing 70.5 PPG on 45% shooting from the field and 34.5% from three this season.
UMBC is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Princeton is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Monday games while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
UMBC did me a favor against Pitt and I put faith in them against a Georgetown team I fade whenever possible, but that burned me as the Retrievers just folded like a cheap tent. Princeton has had their offense come alive this season and I think the Tigers get a win and cover at home in this one.
