I’m leaning towards the under here. Both teams have been trending towards the under lately, with both also owning top-100 scoring defenses and Siena is allowing 59.6 PPG in their last 5 games while Niagara is allowing 64.6 PPG in their last 5. I think this is the first to 65 wins so give me the under here.
