Stony Brook vs Albany Prediction

The Stony Brook Seawolves have had some success on the road this season, but they haven’t looked great at either end of the floor, and it makes it hard to find the confidence to back them. The Albany Great Danes are coming off strong showings against Sacred Heart and Fordham, and they should be feeling good coming back home. Albany has a clear edge on offense and that should be the difference. I’ll lay the points with Albany at home.
