The matchup to watch in this game is DeSean Goode of Robert Morris vs. Dayan Nessah of Cleveland State. Both players lead their respective teams in both points per game and rebounds. Goode is shooting 62.9% from the field this season, so if he's able to continue to play at that level while also slowing down the offensive attack of Nessah of Cleveland State, the Colonials are going to have a chance to win and cover in this game.
Robert Morris vs. Cleveland State Prediction and Pick
In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I broke down why I'm betting the OVER in this Horizon League showdown:
This game is a meeting between two teams that thrive offensively but struggle defensively. They rank 69th and 70th in effective field goal percentage, but 257th and 361st in defensive efficiency. Both teams also lean on the 3-point shot, but they both struggle to defend the perimeter, ranking 190th and 169th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage.
Cleveland State also plays at a fast pace of play, ranking 69th in possessions per game. If they can push the pace and force Robert Morris to pick up the tempo, we could see a high-scoring affair in this Horizon League showdown.
Pick: OVER 152.5 (-106)
