The Canisius Golden Griffins will head out on the road tonight to take on the Niagara Purple Eagles in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference matchup scheduled for a 7:00 P.M ET tip-off. Our latest college basketball odds show Canisius as the 3.5-point favorite.
Canisius (13-12, 7-8) enters tonight’s matchup playing decent basketball as of late going 3-2 SU the last five games while going 3-2 ATS. The Golden Griffins success as of late is the strong play of their defense allowing just 62.4 points per game the last five games allowing teams to shoot just 38.9 % against them. The offense has struggled a little bit for the Golden Griffins the last five games averaging just 62.6 points per game which is 5.6 points lower then their season average. The strong defensive play from Canisius and the weak offense of play has allowed the under to cash in the last five games for the Golden Griffins. The under on the season for Canisius against teams below .500 is 4-2. The under is 4-2 this season for Canisius when a favorite of 10 points or less. The under is 4-1 the last five road games against a team with a winning % below .400.
Niagara (6-21, 3-12) enters this matchup tonight having a down season but they have been competitive the last 10 games. The Purple Eagles may be just 2-9 SU the last ten games but are 7-3 ATS. Niagara’s offense this year is horrible averaging just 61 points per game and over the last five games they are averaging just 58.4 points per game. And it has not even gotten any better at home for them averaging just 61.6 points per game the last five home games. What is keeping Niagara in these games is the defense allowing just 61.8 points per game the last five games allowing teams to shoot just 38.4 % against them in those five games. The under is 12-5 this season for Niagara after a loss and is 10-2 against teams that are above .500. The Purple Eagles as an underdog of less then ten points this year has seen the under cash in all three games. The Purple Eagles has seen the under cash 11 out of 15 games in conference play this season.
These two teams are both shooting poorly as of late and the defense is keeping them both in games. I look for that to continue tonight again in this game. Let’s jump on the under in this game to cash another winning free play.
Got something to say?
