Niagara vs LIU Prediction
Both of these teams are on tired legs and I expect that is going to really catch up with them with the shooting. These are both offenses that have been inconsistent at times and this is going to be a game where they really struggle. I expect especially LIU is going to struggle to get the offense going here and it’s going to be the under that is going to cash here. Back the under with ease.
