Stony Brook is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Wagner is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 home games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS loss while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I really like the under here. Both teams haven’t been their best on the defensive end of the floor, but neither side has been good enough offensively to take advantage of the shortcomings on the other side. Last year’s meeting was one-sided but came in well under the number and while I think this meeting is more competitive, I see more of the same. Give me the under here.
