What to Know

The Lafayette Leopards and the Colgate Raiders are even-steven against one another since December of 2015 (6-6), but not for long. Lafayette and the Raiders will face off in a Patriot battle at 6 p.m. ET Monday at Kirby Sports Center. Both teams are out to turn their luck around after having lost tight contests in their previous games.

It was close but no cigar for Lafayette as they fell 60-56 to the Army West Point Black Knights this past Saturday.

Speaking of close games: Colgate was close but no cigar this past Friday as they fell 76-72 to the Boston University Terriers.

Lafayette is expected to lose this next one by 8.5. At 1-6 against the spread at home, they are no cash cow. That said, Colgate isn't so hot on the road, where they are 4-9.

The Leopards are now 5-13 while the Raiders sit at 8-11. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Lafayette is stumbling into the contest with the 31st fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11 on average. Colgate has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 42nd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
