Pick

I’m sticking with the over here. Neither of these teams have really been anything to write home about, but both seem to find themselves in high-scoring affairs more often than not. Fairleigh Dickinson’s scoring 79.4 PPG and allowing 78.4 PPG in their last 5 games while Sacred Heart’s scoring 74 and allowing 71 in their last 5. Still a big total, but the last three meetings have all gone over, including this year’s first meeting that went over by 23.5 points. Give me the over here.
