Bearcats Face Uphill Battle Against Army, Expert Predicts Low-Scoring Affair
West Point, NY – The Binghamton Bearcats are set to face the Army Black Knights today at West Point, with tip-off scheduled for 12 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+. Despite a recent struggle, with 10 losses in their last 11 games against Division I opponents, the Bearcats face an Army team favored by 11.5 points.
According to Action Network expert Joshua Nunn, who specializes in college football and basketball betting, the key to this matchup lies in the game’s pace. Nunn predicts a low-scoring contest, advising bettors to take the under on the point total, specifically below 142.5 points (playable down to 141.5).
Nunn’s analysis points to the sluggish tempo of both teams. He notes that neither squad boasts a particularly efficient offense, with Binghamton ranking 346th and Army 334th in offensive efficiency, according to KenPom. He anticipates methodical possessions, resulting in difficult shots. While Army relies heavily on three-point attempts, their success rate is low, contributing to the expectation of “one and done” possessions.
While Army has had success slowing down fast-paced teams like George Washington and UMBC, the Bearcats have struggled on both sides of the court this season. Demetrius Lilley and Jeremiah Quigley are the only players averaging double figures. The Bearcats gave up 103 points to Pitt and were blasted by Mercyhurst.
Nunn believes Army’s sound defensive play will make it difficult for Binghamton to operate. He expects the game to be played at 65 possessions or less, concluding that the current form of both teams suggests a final score well under the posted total.
