Le Moyne vs New Haven Prediction

I’ll stick with Le Moyne I suppose. The Dolphins didn’t have a whole lot of issues (outside of a modest start) in their win over Fairleigh Dickinson in a home matchup this week. Le Moyne hit a nice 56.9 percent from the field with 18 points off 12 Knights turnovers, adding a 46-22 advantage on points in the paint. The Dolphins are just 1-2 in their last three, but they’ve won four of the last six games overall.

Back on January 8 when these teams last saw each other, the Dolphins scared a 73-47 blowout victory at home. Le Moyne shot a nice 52 percent from the field with a 36-26 rebounding advantage, a 36-20 edge on points in the paint and just eight turnovers. The Dolphins were great on defense with just 34 percent allowed from the field. If they can pull that off again Le Moyne will be sitting pretty.
