Sacred Heart Pioneers vs. Central Connecticut Blue Devils Prediction
I’m on the Blue Devils here. I have my concerns about a letdown for Central Connecticut off of the Rutgers win, but the Pioneers just are not a good basketball team and I think this team is going to get crushed this entire season. From non-conference play, and to MAAC play, this is going to be a disaster. The Blue Devils are a really solid team that was one of the best in the NEC last year and I think they defend home court here. Give me Central Connecticut here.
