The Raiders, coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance last year, didn't find a lot of success in the non-conference portion of the schedule. But they've heated up in league play. After opening up with a loss to Lehigh, they've won four straight, including victories over Army, Navy and Loyola (Md.) -- all teams with winning records in conference play.

Nelly Cummings leads the team with 16.3 points per game as he paces an offense that averages 74.3 points. The Raiders move the ball well, averaging 16.3 assists per game, which ranks in the top 40 nationally. Their defense has been exceptional during the recent winning streak, giving up just 53.8 points per game during that run.

The Terriers are also playing well as they enter this matchup on a three-game winning streak. They've been getting it done on offense, hitting the 80-point plateau in back-to-back games. That's well above their season-long average (69.4 ppg).

Guards Javante McCoy (16.5 ppg) and Walter Whyte (12.9 ppg) provide a lot of the offense for Boston. Forward Sukhmail Mathon, meanwhile, averages a double-double with 15 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.

SportsTek's model is leaning over on the total, projecting 142 combined points. It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that cashes in over 50 percent of simulations. You can only get the model's picks at SportsTek.
