The Scarlet Knights (4-0) are coming off a 74–63 home win over the Merrimack Warriors on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Owls (4-1) are on a three-game winning streak after Wednesday's 84–78 home win against the Abilene Christian Wildcats.
Rutgers vs. Kennesaw State prediction
Rutgers and Kennesaw State are on completely different levels regarding their roster. The Owls are a terrible 1-43 against teams in the Power Four conferences, so they won't be able to keep up.
The Owls are one of the top offensive teams in the nation, averaging 91.4 points per game. Although they're not going to reach that number in this game, they can still put up a solid amount of points with guard Simeon Cottle. The Scarlet Knights play a solid brand of defense and are shooting the basketball extremely well, connecting on 49.8% of their shot attempts.
Expect the Scarlet Knights to dominate on the road and cover the first half and the full game spread. The over also looks to be the better option for the total.
