What to Know
The Brown Bears have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday at William H. Detrick Gymnasium. Bragging rights belong to Brown for now since they’re up 3-1 across their past four matchups.
The Bears beat the Maine Black Bears 70-63 on Sunday.
Meanwhile, it’s never fun to lose, and it’s even less fun to lose 83-49, which was the final score in Central Connecticut State’s tilt against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights this past Saturday. Guard Kellen Amos (15 points) was the top scorer for Central Connecticut State.
Brown is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Sunday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Brown’s victory brought them up to 2-4 while Central Connecticut State’s loss pulled them down to 0-7. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bears have allowed their opponents to shoot 49.80% from the floor on average, which is the 355th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Blue Devils have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 50% from the floor on average, which is the 356th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The good news? The teams might be seeing more of their shots fall.
