Central Connecticut vs. Fairleigh Dickinson Prediction
I’m on Central Connecticut here. The Blue Devils have been the better team on both ends of the floor so far over the course of conference play and I’m not looking to expect anything different here. Both teams are solid on defense, but FDU’s offense has fallen off while Central Connecticut’s been really efficient. Give me the Blue Devils here.
