Mercyhurst vs Stonehill Prediction

This total is a bit too high. Mercyhurst’s offense is averaging 67 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to struggle to get the offense going here. I do expect they are going to try and keep the pace slow though. Stonehill is averaging 69.4 points but they are going to have some major issues getting anything going. This game is going to be a defensive battle and the under will end up cashing.
