Maine vs New Hampshire Prediction 

Maine comes into this contest looking to snap a three-game losing streak, but they will be back on the road here. The Black Bears are shooting just 41.7% from the field this year and they are 0-3 in their last three road games. New Hampshire is only 8-21 on the season, but they have played decently well over the last few weeks and they are 3-0 in their last three home games. Maine beat New Hampshire by a score of 71-46 in their first meeting, but I like how New Hampshire is playing right now and I think they can keep this game close. Take the Wildcats to cover at home.
