Canisius vs Quinnipiac Prediction 

Quinnipiac comes into this matchup after winning six of their last seven games and they will have the home court advantage for this contest. The Bobcats have scored at least 81 points in three of their last five games, but they are shooting just 41% from the field this year. Canisius has lost three games in a row and five of their last six, and they are shooting 43% from the field this season. The Golden Griffins have scored 63 points or fewer in three of their last five games and they have not had much luck on the road this season. These two teams are trending in opposite directions and I expect Quinnipiac to get a relatively easy win here.
