Pick
I’m not rushing to bet this game, but I’m going to back Sacred Heart here. The Terriers have just seen their offense fall off of a cliff in recent weeks and I don’t see it suddenly changing course here. The Pioneers have been playing slightly better as well in recent weeks, so I’ll take a shot with the Pioneers laying the points in this one.
