Delaware vs LIU 11/30/21 College Basketball Picks, Predictions, Odds

The LIU Sharks and the Delaware Blue Hens meet in college basketball action from the Bob Carpenter Center on Tuesday.

The LIU Sharks come into this one looking to build on a 99-65 win over Delaware State last time out. Ty Flowers leads the Sharks in scoring with 15.6 PPG along with 5.8 RPG while Eral Penn has 14 PPG with 6.2 RPG and Kyndall Davis has 10.4 PPG. Isaac Kante has 10 PPG with a team-high 8.6 RPG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for LIU up to this point in the season. As a team, LIU is averaging 65 PPG on 38.1% shooting from the field, 31.1% from three and 66.7% from the foul line while allowing 80.8 PPG on 44% shooting from the field and 30.6% from three this season.

The Delaware Blue Hens will look to shake off a 75-74 loss at the hands of Temple in their last game. Dylan Painter leads the Blue Hens in scoring and rebounding with 15.6 PPG and 6.3 RPG while Ryan Allen has 15.1 PPG and Kevin Anderson and Jameer Nelson Jr. each have 12.1 PPG and 2 APG this season. As a team, Delaware is averaging 77.4 PPG on 49.1% shooting from the field, 34.9% from three and 80.1% from the foul line while allowing 76.1 PPG on 44.5% shooting from the field and 39.1% from three this season.

LIU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following an ATS win. Delaware is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win while the over is 9-0 in Delaware’s last 9 games overall.

I get why you’d make a case for LIU here, as Delaware isn’t the kind of team that you’d consider laying double digits with. However, LIU has stalled offensively more often than not this season and I just think that Delaware has a lot more promise on the offensive end than LIU so I’ll lay the points with the Blue Hens in this one.
