Monmouth vs. Princeton Prediction

I’m on Princeton here. Monmouth has the signature win over Seton Hall, but that’s about all that’s gone right for Monmouth this season. The Tigers are the better team by a mile this season, and I just want nothing to do with Monmouth, who have gotten their butts kicked by Princeton in the last couple of meetings. Give me Princeton here.
