Sacred Heart vs Niagara Prediction
I’m not excited to lay a bucket with a Niagara team that’s lost seven of its last 10 games, but Sacred Heart isn’t lighting the world on fire in its own right. The Sacred Heart Pioneers are just 2-8 SU on the road and has lost games they should have won. Sacred Heart has issues defensively and has allowed 80-plus points in five of its last 10 games. The Niagara Purple Eagles have seen five of their seven wins come at home. This is a key battle between two subpar teams in the MAAC, and seeding for the conference tournament could be key. I’ll lean toward the home team, as it’s the only key edge we have. Give me Niagara and the small number.
