• NJIT has lost the first half in 10 of its last 12 night games against non-Conference opponents.

NJIT vs High Point Prediction 

High Point comes into this matchup with the home court advantage and they are huge favorites to get the win here. The Panthers had their winning streak snapped last time out, but they are shooting 52% from the field and they have scored at least 84 points in five straight. NJIT is on a lengthy losing streak and they are shooting just 37% from the field this year. The Highlanders have scored 55 points or fewer in three of their last five games and I don’t think they have the offense to keep this game competitive. Take High Point to cover at home.
