Missouri vs Pennsylvania 11/11/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Penn Quakers and the Missouri Tigers meet in college basketball action from the Mizzou Arena on Friday night.

The Penn Quakers will be looking to rebound from a 78-50 loss to Iona in their last game. Jordan Dingle led the Quakers with 16 points while George Smith added 10 points with 6 rebounds as the only other double-digit scorer for Penn in the losing effort. Max Lorca-Lloyd also added 9 points and a team-high 14 rebounds in the loss.

The Missouri Tigers will try to build on their 97-91 win over Southern Indiana in their last game. Kobe Brown led Missouri with 20 points and 14 rebounds for the big time double-double while Tre Gomillion and Sean East II each had 12 points with East II adding 5 assists while Gomillion had 5 rebounds. Deandre Gholston and Dmoi Hodge each had 11 points with Gholston logging 3 steals while Nick Honor had 10 points with 5 assists of his own and a pair of steals to cap off the scoring in double digits for Missouri in the winning effort.

Penn is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 games following a loss. Missouri is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games following an ATS loss.

I get the case to be made for a team like Penn catching a decent number of points, but the Quakers didn’t look all that good against Iona if we’re being honest. Mizzou reloaded and this Missouri team has sneaky potential to be one of the stronger teams in the SEC this season. It’s a wonder what the transfer portal does for some teams, and the Tigers look like they hit the jackpot here at least early on. Give me Missouri laying the points here.
