With Cornell having an advantage on both ends of the floor in this game, Nazir Williams should continue developing an amazing scoring duo with Copper Noard. Having a very strong blocker inside in Thomas Battles II, he should play a key role whenever Robert Hinton or Chandler Pigge try to drive into the lane. We are backing Cornell to win this match.
