Fairleigh Dickinson Knights Betting Preview

The Knights limped to a 4-10 start this year. Next came losses to Saint Francis, New Haven, Long Island U, Le Moyne, Stonehill and Wagner over the next nine games. It’s been a 4-2 run since then with wins over Stonehill, Mercyhurst, Saint Francis and Chicago State for the Knights. Over 29 games that gives the team an 11-18 overall record in the books.

In the New Haven game on Saturday the Knights entered the second half with a troubling 55-39 deficit. Fairleigh Dickinson did get better from there on a 38-29 run but eventually took the loss 84-77 as the game came to a close. Joey Niesman was tops on 24 points, two rebounds and two assists while Cyril Martynov had 14 points with five rebounds in the defeat.

Le Moyne Dolphins Betting Preview

Over on the Le Moyne side, they were 7-10 over their first 17 games. The next four were all wins over Chicago State, Long Island U, Wagner and Fairleigh Dickinson. After losses to Long Island U, Stonehill and Wagner, Le Moyne beat Saint Francis, Mercyhurst and Chicago State. Following losses to Central Connecticut and Stonehill the Dolphins are 14-15 overall this year.

Matched up against Stonehill over the weekend the Dolphins were sitting in the locker room with a 32-24 deficit. Le Moyne didn’t end up getting any closer than that on a 45-44 run the rest of the way and took the loss in the end 77-68.

Fairleigh Dickinson vs Le Moyne Prediction

I suppose I’ll stick with Le Moyne. The Dolphins need to bounce back after a tough loss to a struggling Stonehill team in a road matchup over the weekend, though. Le Moyne shot just 40.7 percent from the field in that one and had a 38-26 deficit on points in the paint alongside 12 turnovers. Le Moyne has lost consecutive games now, giving up a combined 155 points in that pair.

Back on January 26 when these teams last saw each other the Dolphins managed an 87-74 victory on the road. Le Moyne shot very well in that one (60.5 percent) and hit 61.9 percent (13-of-21) from 3-point range. The Dolphins did get out-rebounded 34-30 and beaten in the paint 32-22 however, so there’s a bit to clean up when it comes to presence under the basket.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Le Moyne Dolphins -5
