New Hampshire vs Albany Prediction

New Hampshire and Albany are both riding the struggle bus, but someone has to win. I have to lay the bucket with Albany at home. New Hampshire has just one road win on the season and has piled up the losses in games it should win. We’re laying a bucket. If Albany can’t take advantage of home court, it’s time to hit the panic button entering the AE Tournament. I’ll lay the bucket with Albany at home.
