Le Moyne vs. Central Connecticut Prediction

I’m with Central Connecticut here. Sure, there’s concern that maybe Central Connecticut keeps stuff close to the vest in the event that Le Moyne slips below Chicago State into the 8-seed in the NEC tournament and this becomes a first-round NEC Tournament matchup. However, since their losses to Wagner and LIU early in conference play, Central Connecticut’s looked dominant at home and I think they could be here as well. I’m looking for Central Connecticut to secure the NEC title and do so at home in a dominant fashion. Give me the Blue Devils laying the points at home here.
