Chicago State vs Le Moyne Prediction

I’ll stick with Le Moyne, but there’s not a lot to get excited about here if you’re not a fan of either team. The Dolphins barely eked past a middling Mercyhurst team in a home win this week, shooting 43.4 percent from the field alongside an ugly 12.5 percent (2-of-16) from 3-point range and 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) at the line. The 18 turnovers didn’t help the Dolphins’ cause either. Le Moyne has won consecutive games now, but that comes after three straight losses.

These teams last met up back on January 17 in a 72-57 road win for Le Moyne. In that one the Dolphins shot a nice 48 percent from the field with a 31-24 rebounding advantage and 17 team assists. The only real complaint was the 13 turnovers, which is a bit too high. If Le Moyne can keep the mistakes in check during the home rematch they should be fine.
