Quinnipiac vs Canisius Prediction

I considered the points with Canisius at home on senior night, but that’s about all this group has to play for. Canisius won’t qualify for the MAAC Tournament. Quinnipiac is playing for a top seed in the tournament and smacked Canisius last month by 15 points. Quinnipiac is just the better team on both sides of the ball and has 8 road wins. There’s a gap between these teams. I have to lay the points with Quinnipiac on the road.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Quinnipiac -7.5
