This is a 10* on COLGATE

Colgate has played just 15 games this season, but the champions of the Patriot League have quickly become one of the “trendy underdogs” to pull an outright upset in the opening round. We concur with the public viewpoint. While the Raiders did not play a single non-conference game in the regular season, they are on a 13-game win streak since suffering their only loss, which was by two points against Army. They are second in the entire country, averaging 86.3 points/game, which trails only Gonzaga. Every one of their wins has been by at least eight points. Arkansas just had a 12-game conference win streak snapped in the SEC Tournament. While the Razorbacks had a great year and are getting a lot of fanfare themselves, this is a team that hasn’t played a NCAA Tournament game since 2018. It’s going to take a lot of points to cover the spread in this one and we don’t see the Hogs doing it. Colgate shoots the three very well (40%) and that should keep them in the game. Coming off their first loss in over a month, we expect the favorite to struggle in this matchup. Play on COLGATE
