New Haven comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they have allowed 61 points or fewer in three of their last four. The Chargers are shooting 44% from the field and they are scoring just 64.8 points per game. St. Francis has won two in a row and they have allowed 61 and 60 points in those two victories. The Red Flash are shooting 42% from the field, but they are allowing over 80 points against per game on the season. I really don’t like how New Haven plays offense, but I think they will be able to cover at home with their strong defense.
