The Tigers will be led by senior guard Brady Smith, who averaged 14.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game last season. Smith is the Tigers’ leading returning scorer and is one of the most experienced guards in the SCAC.
The Bears will be led by senior forward Dalton Knecht, who averaged 16.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game last season. Knecht is one of the most dominant players in the Big Sky Conference and is a Preseason All-Big Sky selection.
The game between the Tigers and the Bears is expected to be a challenging one for Colorado College. Northern Colorado is a more experienced and talented team. However, the Tigers have played well against the Bears in recent years, winning two of the last five meetings between the two teams.
I predict that the Northern Colorado Bears will defeat the Colorado College Tigers by a score of 75-70.
Northern Colorado is a more experienced and talented team than Colorado College. The Bears have a number of returning players from last year’s team, led by Preseason All-Big Sky selection Dalton Knecht. Northern Colorado also has a good mix of size and speed, which will make them difficult to match up with.
Colorado College is a young team, but they have a few key players who could cause the Bears some problems. Brady Smith is a talented scorer who can get hot from behind the three-point line. The Tigers also have some good size in the post, which could help them rebound against the Bears.
Overall, I believe that Northern Colorado has the edge in this matchup. They are a more experienced and talented team. However, Colorado College is a capable team that could pull off the upset if they play their best game.
