Quinnipiac is Heating Up

Quinnipiac is on fire heading into this game, and they have won four games in a row. Two games ago against Manhattan, they won 74-71, and in the last game against Saint Peter’s, they came out ahead 69-64. They gave up only 27 points in the second half, which was enough to secure the win. Amarri Tice has been the most complete player, putting up 19 points and 11 rebounds. Four different players put up at least 11 points. In this game, they will need it be a balanced attack again here. 

Quinnipiac really can’t slip up here, as they have an 18-10 record overall while going 10-16 -1 against the spread. Quinnipiac is averaging 74 points, while their defense is giving up 71 points. They like to push the pace, but at times, the defense has really let them down. Amarri Monroe has been the top player, averaging 17.9 points. I would expect Quinnipiac to try to get up in this game to limit the damage. 

Why Quinnipac Will Beat Merrimack

  • The road team has won each of Merrimack’s last four games.
  • Merrimack has lost four of its last five games against the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Merrimack is ice-cold

Merrimack still has a winning record, but they are coming off another loss in the last game. On Friday, Merrimack faced off against Rider, losing by five points. They were up by two points at halftime, but in the second half, they blew it. Adam Clark was the Warriors’ leading scorer, putting up 26 points, eight assists, and four rebounds. Bryan Etummu had a strong game, also putting up 18 points and four rebounds. 

Merrimack sits with a 15-14 record overall, and at home, they have gone 7-5. Merrimack’s offense hasn’t been good enough, and they are averaging only 65.4 points per game. There are worse offensive teams, but far too often, the offense just hasn’t run up the score, and they will need to be better here. Adam Clark has been the top player, averaging 20.1 points while shooting 45 percent from the field. 

Quinnipiac vs Merrimack Prediction

When these two teams faced off in January, Quinnipiac was able to win 81-76. Quinnipiac’s offense was the difference in that game, and it will be the difference here. The Bobcats offense is elite, averaging 74 points per game, and they will put on a show again here. Are they going to score 81 points again? I don’t know about that, but their offense is still a centerpiece to their success. Merrimack’s offense will struggle to keep up, and it will be Quinnipiac pulls away here. Back Quinnipiac against the spread. 

Shane Mickle's Pick: Quinnipiac -2.5
