Why Bet On Bryant:
✅ Year two for UAlbany under Dwayne Killings has been a disaster, as they are ranked 347th out of 363 Division I teams at Kenpom. Against a Bryant team with a potent offense, the Great Danes will continue to struggle in this matchup.
✅ A big reason for Bryant’s success is their blistering pace. Kenpom ranks the Bulldogs as the team with the seventh quickest adjusted tempo in college basketball. They will run the Danes out of the gym with that pace.
✅ UAlbany has lost seven games in a row, including their last three home games. Two of those three home losses have come by double digits, and this will be a third double digit loss out of four home contests.

Bryant Bulldogs
The Bryant Bulldogs enter Wednesday night’s America East basketball action in third place in the conference standings. They are 15-8 overall and 6-4 in conference play, having won their last two games over Maine and New Hampshire. Here, they will look for a third straight win, as they face a UAlbany team that is last in the league standings.
These teams played once already this season, with the Bulldogs claiming an 86-69 victory at home. In that game, Antwan Walker scored 33 points for Bryant, who shot better than 50% as a team. Their offensive efficiency is likely to continue here against a reeling Great Danes squad.
Albany Great Danes
The Albany Great Danes have lost seven games in a row coming into Wednesday night. Their most recent defeat came during their “Big Purple Growl” homecoming game, as they fell by 19 points to conference leaders Vermont. Here, the Great Danes will look to end their long losing streak, but they will need to be better on the defensive end in order to get back into the win column.
UAlbany ranks 351st in defensive efficiency at Kenpom, and allows 74.8 points per game. That is only 1.4 points per game more than Bryant gives up, but the Great Danes also average just over 15 fewer point per game than the Bulldogs on offense. It will take improvement on both ends of the floor for UAlbany to win this one.
