Albany vs Maine 2/9/22 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Maine Black Bears and the Albany Great Danes meet in college basketball action from SEFCU Arena on Wednesday night.

The Maine Black Bears will try to snap a five-game losing streak after a 69-60 loss to Binghamton last time out. Vukasin Masic leads the Black Bears across the board with 9.4 PPG, 3.7 RPG and 3.1 APG while LeChaun DuHart each have 8.5 PPG this season. As a team, Maine is averaging 60.5 PPG on 40.4% shooting from the field, 29.5% from three and 71,8% from the foul line while allowing 70 PPG on 46.9% shooting from the field and 36.6% from three.

The Albany Great Danes will hope to build on a 71-52 road win over Hartford last time out. De’Vondre Perry leads the Great Danes in scoring with 12.8 PPG while Jamel Horton has 11.8 PPG with a team-high 4 APG to lead the Great Danes in the assist department this season. Matt Cerruti has 11.2 PPG while Justin Neely has 5 RPG as well for the Great Danes on the boards this season. As a team, Albany is averaging 62 PPG on 41.1% shooting from the field, 31.8% from three and 71.6% from the foul line while allowing 65.2 PPG on 42.9% shooting from the field and 34.5% from three this season.

Maine is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall while the over is 8-3 in their last 11 games following a loss. Albany is 19-39 ATS in their last 58 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following a win.

I get the case to be made either way here, as Maine has been able to keep a couple of games close already this season while Albany is the better team. However, these are two teams that have had offensive issues for much of the season and I just think this ends up being a first to 60 or 65 wins kind of game. Give me the under.
