Michael Green III also has 10.7 PPG and a team-high 3.1 APG as well to make up the group of double-digit scorers for the Colonials so far this season.

Robert Morris is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss and 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Youngstown State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.

I get the case to be made for Robert Morris and the points here, but the thing here is that the Colonials have been having offensive issues as of late and while Youngstown State isn’t the first team I’d think of laying this kind of number with, the Penguins have been playing better basketball as of late and I think they can bang out a win and cover at home in this one.
