Pick
I’m backing the over here. I don’t trust either side as far as I can throw them and while I normally wouldn’t expect these two teams to pile on the points, both have been finding themselves in high-scoring games as of late. Both teams are allowing over 74 PPG in their last 5 games while Canisius is scoring 73 and MSM is scoring 67.3 PPG in that stretch. I think this ends up being a higher scoring one too so give me the over here.
