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.
