Injuries

Matchup History
Bryant’s 87-75 win back on January 19th, 2023, was the first meeting these two have had on the hardwood since 2009.
Trends
Bryant is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit home loss while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. NJIT is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games following an ATS win.
Pick
I’m leaning towards the under here. Bryant’s scoring isn’t what it’s been when they were lighting it up early on in the year, and NJIT has been struggling to get past the 60s more often than not. I’ll take the under here as I just think this ends up being a lower-scoring game than the names on this game would suggest, like a first to 70 wins kind of game.
