Sacred Heart Pioneers Betting Preview

The Pioneers opened on a shaky 2-5 run in their first seven games. The losses in that time were versus Duquesne, Villanova, Queens University, Central Connecticut and Penn State. Since then it’s been a 3-2 run with wins over Mount St. Mary’s, NJIT and Dartmouth amid losses to Iona and UMass Lowell in that time. Over 12 games so far that gives the Pioneers a 5-7 record this year.

In the Dartmouth game on Friday, the Pioneers held a nine-point edge by halftime. Sacred Heart kept it up on a 50-37 run from there and took the win 85-63. Leading the team in scoring was Dashon Gittens with 26 points and eight rebounds. Mekhi Conner added 21 points with 10 assists and seven rebounds while Nyle Ralph-Beyer had 12 points with three boards for Sacred Heart.

Over on the Towson side, they managed to start out the season at 5-2 overall. The Tigers beat Loyola Maryland, Wilson College, Norfolk State, Rhode Island and Liberty in that time. Towson went just 1-3 over the next four games though, with a lone win over Cornell. Otherwise it was losses to UC San Diego, Central Florida and Kansas, which would give Towson a 6-5 record across their first 11 outings.

Sacred Heart vs Towson Prediction

I’ll take a stab on Sacred Heart. Probably not touching this one, though. The Pioneers played pretty well overall versus Dartmouth in their latest win, hitting 41.8 percent from the field with a 37-36 rebounding edge, 15 team assists, a 42-22 advantage on points in the paint and just eight turnovers. Sacred Heart has scored a combined 167 points in their last two games, so if they can keep that run going (or at least hit the 70-point mark) on Monday the team should be looking good.

As for Towson, they rolled right past an overmatched Notre Dame MD team in their last game. The Tigers shot 56.3 percent from the field in that one with 17-of-20 (85 percent) from the line and 55 rebounds, but did have 15 turnovers. The 107 points were nice after scoring a combined 110 over their previous two games. This matchup should be a decent total as well if both teams’ offenses start strong.
