Quinnipiac vs Siena Prediction 

Quinnipiac comes into this contest after losing to Marist in their last game, but they will be at home for this matchup. The Bobcats have won two of their last three games, but they are shooting just 39.6% from the field this year. Quinnipiac has scored 62 points or fewer in two straight games, so they need to find more consistent scoring. Siena is also coming off of a loss and they have also won two of their last three games. The Saints do have a slightly better shooting percentage than Quinnipiac, but it is only sitting at 42.5%. I don’t really trust either defense in this matchup, but Quinnipiac is at home and they are averaging about six more rebounds per game. Take the Bobcats to get a big conference win at home.
