Bryant vs Binghamton Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 29, 2026
Bryant heads to Binghamton on Thursday, January 29, 2026, for an America East matchup at the Events Center in Binghamton, NY. Tip is 6:00 PM ET on ESPN+. This is basically a pick em with Binghamton laying a half point, which tells you the market sees two flawed teams where one clean stretch of shot-making probably decides it.
Bryant brings the uglier résumé, especially away from home at 1-11. Binghamton’s overall record is worse, but they’ve at least been more functional in their own building. With a total sitting at 132.5, the number also suggests a slower, more half-court game where every empty trip matters.
Bryant vs Binghamton Odds
These are the current betting lines, and bettors should keep an eye on movement throughout the day on the college basketball odds board.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |

| Bryant | -111 | +0.5 (-117) | 132.5 |
| Binghamton | -114 | -0.5 (-109) | 132.5 |
Bryant Betting Form
Bryant’s recent showing against Vermont was rough offensively, and that’s been the recurring issue in their profile. When they are not getting clean looks early in the clock, possessions get long, the shot quality slips, and you end up needing a strong free throw night just to keep pace. In a spread this tight, those droughts are deadly.
The angle that keeps Bryant live is the three-point volume. They can win this game with one or two short bursts where the threes fall and the pressure flips to the home side. If Bryant is going to cover a number this small, it probably looks like making enough perimeter shots to avoid chasing, then closing possessions without giving away extra chances.

Binghamton Betting Form
Binghamton comes in off a loss to Maine where the defense could not get enough stops once the game tilted. That matters here because this is not a team that wins by shooting teams out of the gym. They need structure, free throws, and a steady shot diet to avoid the long scoring gaps that have shown up in conference play.
At home, the Bearcats have been more competitive, and in a near pick em, that’s a real edge. If Binghamton can consistently get to the line and force Bryant into foul trouble, it shortens the game and raises their floor. They do not have to be pretty, they just have to stay organized and keep Bryant out of transition looks.

Bryant vs Binghamton Matchup Breakdown
This matchup starts with shot quality. Bryant wants to create enough three-point attempts to swing variance their way. Binghamton wants to keep the game in the half court, get to the stripe, and win the possession battle without taking risks. That creates a very specific handicap: if Bryant’s threes are dropping, they can win outright. If they are not, Binghamton’s steadier scoring path becomes a problem fast.
The second layer is late-game execution. Tight spreads make final four-minute offense and free throw shooting more important than pace. Bryant’s road profile suggests more volatility, and that can show up in sloppy possessions when the game slows down. Binghamton is not a high-powered closer either, but the home setting helps the communication on defense and the shot selection late.
The total at 132.5 feels right for two teams that can drift into empty possessions. You can still lose an under if the last two minutes turn into a foul parade, but the baseline expectation here is fewer clean looks and more grinding possessions. If you’re comparing totals by tempo, efficiency, and end-game variance, the expert betting guide is a solid framework for evaluating these low-130s numbers.
Bryant vs Binghamton Predictions and Best Bets
From a side perspective, I am treating this like a “who can play the cleaner game” bet more than a pure power rating edge. Bryant has the higher-variance path because the threes can swing it, but the 1-11 road record matters. In a near pick em, I usually want the team less likely to implode for five minutes, and Bryant has shown that downside too often away from home.
Binghamton being favored by only -0.5 tells you the market is not fully buying their overall quality either, but the setup makes sense. Home court, a free throw driven scoring profile, and a game that likely slows down all point toward the Bearcats being the slightly safer side to back.
On the total, I lean under 132.5. Both offenses have shown long dry spells, and neither team profiles like a consistent transition scorer that can turn this into a track meet. If this stays half-court for most of the night, you are asking both teams to execute cleanly for 40 minutes to beat the number.
Best Bet: Under 132.5
