Over on the William & Mary side, they’ve been pretty bad this year outside of a 4-5 run back in December/January. Since then it’s been a nine-game losing streak to Charleston, UNCW, Towson, James Madison, UNCW again, Drexel, Delaware, Northeastern and Hofstra.

Meanwhile, the Huskies are 2-6 ATS in their last eight Saturday games and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 overall. The under is 5-2 in Northeastern’s last seven overall. 

PICK: I’m going to take a stab on Northeastern but probably not touching this one. There’s not much intrigue going on here. In any case, William & Mary won the first matchup between these teams this year, 71-70 on New Year’s Eve. Northeastern got their revenge in the rematch February 24 though, taking a dominant 62-28 win. 

Neither one of these teams has been good lately and there’s no telling what could happen here. Still, after that last matchup Northeastern seems a better cover option.
