Niagara vs Mt. St. Mary’s Prediction
The Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers beat Niagara last month, and you can argue they’re the better team that’s also slightly sharper defensively. However, Niagara is coming off nice wins over Quinnipiac and Canisius, one of those games as a double-digit underdog. Niagara has to be as confident as it’s been all season, and wins like that could have a carry-over effect. Mount St. Mary’s goes in a hole offensively at times. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Niagara and the small chalk at home on Friday night.
