The Quinnipiac Bobcats have some weird losses this season, but there’s no doubt they’ve been the better, more successful team this season, and they have recent games under their belt. The Canisius Golden Griffins have been rough offensively this season, and I doubt the chemistry improves with them not playing a game since December 22. Massive layoff for the Bobcats and there’s sure to be rust. Give me Quinnipiac in this toss up.
