Stony Brook vs Monmouth Prediction

The Monmouth Hawks are the more talented team and could mop the floor if things go well. We know Monmouth has the best player on the floor by a long shot. Stony Brook lacks scoring depth and barely shoots 40 percent on the season. However, Stony Brook does have a couple of road wins, which means the Seawolves aren’t going to be scared. Also, Stony Brook has covered each of its last four games. You’re also being asked to lay 6.5 points with a team that has just two wins on the season. Tough schedule or not, two wins are two wins. There are better options out there for Thursday’s card, but give me Stony Brook and the points.
