Niagara Purple Eagles (14-12) vs Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers (12-16)
Sunday, March 03, 2024 at 2:00 pm
My selection is on Niagara minus the points over Mount St. Mary's at 2 pm et on Sunday.
Niagara is in a prime bounce-back spot on Sunday as it looks to rebound following consecutive double-digit losses. The Purple Eagles already outlasted Mount St. Mary's by an 82-71 score, on the road no less, back on January 21st. Niagara has gone 2-1 SU and ATS since Mount St. Mary's joined the MAAC in 2022. The Mountaineers have won just once in their last five games and that came at home. You would have to go back four road games to find the last time they posted a victory and that came against lowly Siena - one of the worst teams in the entire country let alone the MAAC. Niagara checks in 26-15 ATS in its last 41 games following consecutive double-digit losses. That situation has only come up once in the last three seasons and the Purple Eagles delivered the cash on that occasion as well. They're 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games after consecutive ATS losses including a 2-1 ATS mark in that situation this season. Meanwhile, Mount St. Mary's is 5-9 ATS in its last 14 contests after allowing 65 points or less in consecutive games, as is the case here, including an 0-2 ATS record this season. Take Niagara (8*).
