Richmond Spiders Preview

The Spiders have not been able to take their foot off the gas in their first two games to start the season. Their most recent win was a 90-48 performance against the Siena Saints. Isaiah Bigelow (12.0 PPG) finished with 17.0 to help guide them to victory.

Last year they finished with a 15-18 record overall and 7-11 in the A-10. They are off to a good start, but must utilize their quick pace of play to stay ahead of the Eagles.

While it might be hard to continue, they are averaging 91.5 points per game and rank 37th in the nation. So far, their offensive efficiency is at 127.1 and ranks 18th. This is an excellent starting point and something to build on each game.

Their defense has been great, as they allow 61.5 points per game and rank 66th. They also do well in forcing turnovers and securing their basket, with a defensive efficiency rating of 85.4, which ranks 65th.

Boston College Eagles Betting Preview

The Eagles have been successful in their first two games to start the year, with a recent 75-71 win over The Citadel Bulldogs. Jaeden Zachary (15.5 PPG, 4.0 AST) offered 21 points for them to succeed.

They were just below .500 last year, with a 16-17 record (9-11 in ACC). They are off to a good start and should have an appealing opportunity to finish above that this year.

Currently, they average 82.0 points per game (119th) and have an efficient offense with a rating at 100.7 (86th). This should help keep the game close and to potentially have an opportunity to win.

On the defensive end, they have forced teams to average 70.5 points a game (196th) and have a somewhat efficient defense at 100.7 (219th). This will be crucial in this showdown.
