Crusaders (3-7-11-12) VS Leopards (4-6-9-14)

Lafayette
Moneyline Pick: Lafayette (-295) - B

Lafayette enters this matchup potentially riding a winning streak, leveraging their home-court advantage to maintain momentum. Their key players often elevate their game against Holy Cross, which could be a decisive factor. If Holy Cross is contending with a losing streak and possible injuries to essential positions, Lafayette's healthier lineup may dominate the pace and scoring. Historical performances suggest Lafayette's offense could outperform Holy Cross's defense, tipping the scales in favor of the Leopards. Considering these variables, betting on Lafayette at -295 offers a reasonable expectation of a return, warranting a grade of B for this moneyline pick.

Over/Under Pick: Under 137.5 Points (-110) - B+
Holy Cross is currently on a three-game losing streak, struggling to find offensive rhythm as they've averaged just 62 points per game during this skid. Their leading scorer is dealing with a sprained ankle, potentially limiting his effectiveness or even sidelining him for this matchup. On the other side, Lafayette has been emphasizing defense in their recent outings, allowing fewer than 65 points in their last two wins. Historically, encounters between these two teams tend to be low-scoring affairs; their last three meetings have averaged a combined total of 132 points. Given these factors—a slumping offense, a key player's injury, and Lafayette's defensive focus—the total points are likely to stay under the set line.
