Higher than I’d expected. My guess would have been -15. Maybe Columbia is expected to be really, really bad.

22 is a lot without Caleb. Pike also likes to play around with his rotation early in the year. I don’t know anything about Columbia but I’d hammer them

Do we know that Caleb is unavailable?

Haven’t Seen a prediction thread but RU 73 COL 57 seems a reasonable expectation.

Columbia was 4-22 last year, 1 non D1 win.
Lost @ UMBC by 38, @ Colgate by 28, @ Dartmouth by 29
lost at home to Lafayette 50-73, at home to Yale by 25
3 wins vs Binghamton, Maine, and @ Penn.
First games are always so unpredictable.

Need to treat them like little brother. Hopefully lot of playing time for the 10-13th guys on the bench

Yeah they're pretty bad... Supposedly have a solid incoming freshman class but that's not gonna mean much game #1 at the RAC

if we are up big, Pike will likely give 2nd string some extra playing time. Hard to hold a 22+ lead.

Last year the numbers looked really bad for Columbia. The only green shaded category is they don’t foul…..not sure that is a positive.

You can see why the one guy who had some success there -- didn't even get them to the tournament, just had some winning records -- is now coaching a high major.

They should be better than one of the ten worst teams this year. But not much more than that.

Everyone in the conference is a huge favorite but if I have my probabilities right then there is about a 50% chance somebody loses.

13.4 expected wins from this slate:

If you had even money which would you take? 14-0 or 1 or more loses?

The good news if there is a loss there is a high probability it is NOT us.

I think there is a 53.5% we go undefeated. .6 losses are because there is a chance that there are 2 or more losses.

I'd take 14-0 at even odds.
