Stony Brook is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 Friday games. New Hampshire is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a win while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

I get the case to be made either way here, but a lot of New Hampshire’s issues with covering numbers this season are because they’re laying far too many points. We haven’t seen much from Stony Brook on the road, but what I’ve seen from New Hampshire from their games at home is that the Wildcats play their best ball by far on their home floor. I think this is a spot where laying the points with the Wildcats is the play here.
