New Hampshire Wildcats Betting Preview

It’s been a tough year so far for New Hampshire. Prior to this month the Wildcats had only one instance of consecutive wins, but they’ve been doing better lately. New Hampshire opened up the season on a 2-6 run though, taking losses to UMass, UConn, Fairfield, Brown, Sacred Heart and Holy Cross. A losing streak versus Marist, Columbia, Fordham, Dartmouth, Harvard, Stonehill, Iowa, Vermont and Albany came next, then wins over Binghamton and UMBC. After losses to NJIT, Bryant, UMass Lowell and Maine, the Wildcats have since gone 3-1 with a lone loss to Vermont. The wins otherwise in that time have come courtesy of UMBC, NJIT and UMass Lowell. That gives New Hampshire a 7-20 overall run through 27 games this year.

In the UMass Lowell matchup back on Saturday, the Wildcats came out of the break with a 38-28 deficit. New Hampshire woke up after the first half though, hitting a 52-41 run the rest of the way for an 80-79 comeback victory. Leading the team in scoring was Sami Pissis with 21 points, six assists, two steals and two rebounds. Khalil Badru had 13 points with four rebounds and two steals, while Jawarie Hamelin added 11 points with four steals. Anthony McComb led the bench scoring with 16 points, four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes of action.

Binghamton Bearcats Betting Preview

Over on the Binghamton side, they had a good run going back in December, but aside from that it’s been a struggle this season in the record column. The Bearcats opened on a 2-6 run as well with losses to Penn Sate, Miami, Fordham, Longwood, Central Connecticut and Niagara. A nice 7-1 stretch came next with wins over Long Island U, Lafayette, Le Moyne, Lancaster Bible College, Mercyhurst, Army and UMBC (with a loss to Marist), then losses to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Albany and Bryant. It’s been a 4-2 stretch over the last half dozen games though, as Binghamton has dispatched Vermont, Albany, UMass Lowell and NJIT with losses to Bryant and UMBC. So far that gives the Bearcats a 13-14 overall run through 27 outings.

Matched up against NJIT in their Saturday outing, the Bearcats were in the locker room with a three-point edge. Binghamton ended up needing overtime, but in the end they secured a 75-71 victory. Nehemiah Benson put up 20 points with 11 rebounds and two assists. Gavin Walsh also doubled up with his 17 points and 16 rebounds with two assists. Both Chris Walker (nine rebounds; three assists) and Wes Peterson (seven rebounds; four steals) added 11 points each, while Ben Callahan-Gold chipped in eight bench points with six boards.

Why the Binghamton Bearcats will win

• Binghamton has won each of its last seven home games following a road win.
• New Hampshire has lost nine of its last 10 road games against the America East Conference.
• New Hampshire has lost the first half in each of its last eight games against the America East Conference.

Why the New Hampshire Wildcats will win

• New Hampshire has won three of its last four games.
• The road team has won the first half in four of the last five games between New Hampshire and Binghamton.

Binghamton vs New Hampshire Prediction

I’ll stick with Binghamton. The bad news here is that there’s not a lot to get excited about if you’re not a fan of either team. The good news is that it should be a competitive matchup. Binghamton is coming off a tight win over a struggling NJIT team, shooting an ugly 0-of-15 from 3-point range with 15 turnovers along the way. The win still counts though, and that makes four in the last six games for the Bearcats.

These teams last saw each other back on January 11, in a 79-72 road loss for Binghamton. In that one the Bearcats shot a tepid 41.4 percent from the field with 11 turnovers and got outscored 42-30 in the second half. There’s plenty for the Bearcats to clean up in the rematch, but I think the familiar home surroundings will help.

Binghamton Looks for Fourth Straight Win

Binghamton has played well heading into this game and they have won three games in a row.

Binghamton vs New Hampshire Betting Prediction

Binghamton is going to put on a show in this game with the offense and that is going to be the difference here. When these two teams just faced off, Binghamton scored 87 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. New Hampshire is going to struggle to keep up and that is going to be the difference as Binghamton gets the job done. Back Binghamton against the spread.

Maine Black Bears vs Binghamton Bearcats prediction

The Maine Black Bears have been inconsistent all season and are on the road, where they’re 4-11 SU. The Binghamton Bearcats beat Maine last month on the road as 7.5 point underdogs. Binghamton is now at home, where it’s 8-4 SU on the season. The Binghamton Bearcats have also covered 8 of their last 10 games to improve to a profitable 13-11 ATS on the season. Binghamton and Maine are both two subpar America East teams, but Binghamton has to be the side given the recent cover ability and how the last meeting played out. I’ll lay the bucket with Binghamton.

UMBC Retrievers vs Binghamton Bearcats prediction

The UMBC Retrievers don’t play a lick of defense, and it’s hurt them the most on the road, where they’re 2-10 SU on the season. The Binghamton Bearcats are at their best at home, where 8 of their 11 wins this season have come. The Binghamton Bearcats have covered each of their last 6 games. These are two teams heading in different directions. Early, weird start times also usually favor the home team. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Binghamton Bearcats and the reasonable number.

How Does the Albany Defense Bounce Back?

Albany faced off against UMBC in the last game and they were defeated. Albany scored 102 points which should have been enough to win the game, but it wasn’t as the defense gave up 114 points. In the second half the defense gave up 69 points. Albany on the season is averaging 78.9 points while their defense is giving up 79 points per game. The offense is ranked 68th but it’s clear the defense has some issues and they are going to need the defense to be a lot better here. Guard Sebastian Thomas is averaging 18.1 points while shooting 40.8 percent from the field.

Binghamton Looks to Bounce Back

Armon Harried was the only real bright spot putting up 12 points and seven rebounds. Binghamton is averaging 71.4 points while their defense is giving up 72 points per game. The offense is ranked 255th in the league and they are going to need the offense to run up the score here. Tymu Chenery is averaging 14.4 points while shooting 51.4 percent from the field.

Albany is going to find success here, even on the road. Binghamton in the last game only scored 49 points and I don’t really trust them here. Albany is averaging 78.9 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Binghamton is going to really struggle to get the offense going and that won’t allow them to keep it close. Back Albany to get the job done and cover the spread.

NJIT vs Binghamton Betting Prediction

Both of these teams were able to snap their losing streaks in their last game, but both only have one conference win so far this season. Binghamton has the advantage in most metrics, especially in shooting percentage. The Bearkats are shooting 45.8% from the field, while NJIT is only shooting 39.7%. NJIT has really struggled to score during conference play and I think Binghamton will pull away in the second half. Take the Bearkats.

Binghamton has lost three straight games against D-1 opponents and they are allowing 72.9 points against per game this year. The Bearcats are scoring 75.3 points per game, but I think they are going to have trouble scoring against this Vermont defense. Take the under in this game.

Pick

I’m backing Vermont here. The Catamounts historically have owned the America East and Binghamton is no different, and while the Bearcats got the cover against Vermont in the last meeting, NJIT did as well and look how that worked out for NJIT against Vermont in the last round. I think Vermont comes out for revenge here and gets a massive win here.

Pick

I’m leaning towards UMBC here. Not one I’m rushing to bet, but the Retrievers were far better at home this season and they were far more effective in the meetings between these two teams in the meeting at UMBC, a game the Retrievers won by 14 points. I don’t envision the Bearcats having a ton of success in this game, so give me the Retrievers laying the points if forced to pick.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. Both of these teams have some defensive issues, with UMBC allowing totals in the mid-70s at least more often than not on the road, while Binghamton has been giving it up left and right themselves as of late. Higher total than I’m used to for these teams, but I still like the over here.

Binghamton Bearcats 

Binghamton had a rough start to the season, going 8-10 over their first 18 outings. The Bearcats are 4-4 in their last eight games, losing to Maine, Vermont, UMBC and UMass Lowell with wins over Bryant, New Hampshire, Albany and NJIT otherwise. 

In the UMass Lowell matchup back on Saturday, the Bearcats took a 40-34 deficit into the break. Binghamton didn’t get any closer on a 44-36 second half and lost 84-70. Dan Petcash was the leading team scorer with 21 points and four rebounds. 

Vermont Catamounts 

Over on the Vermont side, they went 9-10 over their first 19 games during an up-and-down start. The Catamounts have since beaten NJIT, Binghamton, UMBC, Albany, Maine, UMass Lowell, New Hampshire and NJIT in succession, though. 

Back on Saturday versus NJIT, the Catamounts scored 39 points in the first half, 35 in the second and eight in overtime for a tense win 82-80. Finn Sullivan posted 21 points and Robin Duncan doubled on 13 points and 12 rebounds. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll stick with Vermont here. The Catamounts had a little trouble against a struggling NJIT team in their last matchup on Saturday, but to their credit Vermont was able to secure the win. That makes nine straight victories for the Catamounts. One of those wins was a January 25 affair against the Bearcats at Binghamton University Events Center. Vermont didn’t have any trouble in that one during an 80-55 finish. This one probably won’t be so lopsided, but Vermont should still be in full control at home.

Randy’s Free Pick

Both teams are in rough shape at the moment, and I’m not excited to get behind either side. However, Binghamton has shown more promise for the majority of the season and has sucked less overall. The NJIT Highlanders lose on the season by an average of 4.6 points and loses as underdogs by an average of 7 points. It’s Binghamton or pass for me.

Binghamton Bearcats

Binghamton hit a 6-10 run over their first 16 games, beating Cazenovia, Marist, Columbia, SUNY Oneonta, New Hampshire and NJIT. The Bearcats are 3-2 in their last five with losses to Maine and Vermont. 

In the Bryant game on Saturday, Binghamton posted a 49-36 stretch in the first half. The Bearcats outscored the Bulldogs 35-31 from there and won it 84-67. Dan Petcash was tops in scoring with 24 points and eight rebounds. 

UMBC Retrievers 

Over on the UMBC side, they lost to Tulane, Princeton, UNCG, Georgetown, Maryland and Vermont during their first 16 games. The Retrievers are 4-3 in their last seven with losses to UMass Lowell, NJIT and Vermont. 

Matched up against Vermont on Saturday, the Retrievers went into the break down 34-23. UMBC made a run at it in the second with 45 points but still lost 74-68. Yaw Obeng-Mensah led the way on 18 points and 16 rebounds. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stick with UMBC. The Retrievers need to bounce back from a limp effort against a mediocre Vermont tea, though. UMBC has been scoring pretty well recently—which is good news. They’ve hit 68 or more points in seven of their last eight outings and should have some scoring opportunities in this one as well. As for Binghamton, they posted a nice win over Bryant in their last outing but they’ve been fairly erratic on the scoreboard over their last handful of games. I don’t think the Bearcats will keep a cover pace for the whole game here.

Pick

I’m going to take a stab on Binghamton and the points here. I know Vermont’s owned the matchup between these two teams in recent years, but this isn’t the same Vermont team we’ve come to know and love over the last few years. Binghamton’s outscoring teams by 2 PPG over their last five games while Vermont’s only outscoring teams by 5 PPG over their last five so give me Binghamton and the points here.

Randy’s Free Pick

The Binghamton Bearcats are playing the better ball over the last week or so, but the fact they’re underdogs here tells you oddsmakers don’t believe in this recent stretch. As bad as Maine has been over the course of the season, it wins by an average of 13.7 points while shooing 49.5 percent at home. I’ll lay the small chalk.

Binghamton Bearcats 

Binghamton won just four of their first 14 games this year over Cazenovia, Marist, Columbia and SUNY Oneonta. The Bearcats have since won three straight over New Hampshire, NJIT and UMass Lowell.

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to try Binghamton here. Granted, there’s not a lot to get excited about in this matchup. That said, it should still be a competitive affair. Binghamton is playing pretty well lately. They’ve hit a three-game win streak—most recently over a good UMass Lowell team—and have scored 66 or more points in seven straight outings. As for Albany, they’ve been below 70 points in four of their last six games and didn’t play all that well against NJIT on Saturday. I like the Danes to hang around for a while before Binghamton covers/wins here.

Binghamton could only muster three wins in the first 10 games, beating Cazenovia, Marist and Columbia. The Bearcats are 2-3 in their last five outings with wins over SUNY Oneonta and New Hampshire in that stretch. 

Matched up against New Hampshire last Thursday, the Bearcats were up 37-23 at the break. Binghamton posted a 31-27 run in the second half and won it 68-50. Miles Gibson led the way on 20 points with 10 rebounds. 

Over on the NJIT side, they were just 1-9 after 10 games this year. The Highlanders only win came versus Sacred Heart. Since then NJIT is 3-2 with wins over Niagara, St. Elizabeth and Maine during that stretch. 

On Sunday in the Maine game, the Highlanders scored 41 points in the first half, 36 more in the second and 14 in overtime on the way to a 91-83 victory. Miles Coleman topped the team with 22 points and six rebounds. 

PICK: I’ll probably stick with Binghamton. Granted, there’s not much intrigue involved in a matchup between two teams with a combined nine wins, but it should be a pretty good game. The Bearcats have scored pretty well lately with 67 or more points in five straight games. NJIT has hit 73 or more points in three of the last four and the Highlanders are coming off a nice win over Maine on Sunday. I like this one to be quite competitive and entertaining as the Bearcats eke out a cover (and maybe a win).

The New Hampshire Wildcats will look to build on a 67-51 win over Albany last time out. Clarence O. Daniels II leads New Hampshire in scoring and rebounding, averaging a double-double per game with 16.1 PPG and 10.9 RPG while Nick Johnson has 13 PPG with 4.1 RPG in eight games this season. Kyree Brown has 10.4 PPG with a team-high 3.9 APG to lead the Wildcats in the assist department as well as rounding out the trio of double-digit scorers for Now Hampshire this season. As a team, New Hampshire is averaging 67.1 PPG on 39.5% shooting from the field, 36% from three and 73% from the foul line this season.

The Binghamton Bearcats will try to snap a three-game losing skid after an 82-78 loss to Bryant last time out. Jacob Falko leads the Bearcats in scoring and assists with 14.9 PPG and 3.6 APG along with 3.9 RPG while Armon Harried has 11.5 PPG and 6.9 RPG In eight games and Miles Gibson has 10.1 PPG with 5.1 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Binghamton up to this point in the season. As a team, Binghamton is averaging 70.1 PPG on 44.4% shooting from the field, 28.7% from three and 69.9% from the foul line this season.

New Hampshire is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win while the under is 7-2 in their last 9 games overall. Binghamton is 3-8 ATs in their last 11 games overall and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.

I get the case to be made either way in this game, but I’m backing the under here. I honestly don’t know if either side will make it to 60 points in this game and I just think this is going to be a slow-paced slop fest for a full 40 minutes. Not one I’m rushing to bet but give me the under here.

The Binghamton Bearcats have had issues finishing games, and now they’re playing levels up in competition.

I can only lean toward Cornell and the chalk at home.

Jacob Falko leads the Bearcats in scoring and assists with 14.2 PPG and 3.7 APG along with 4.1 RPG while John McGriff has 11 PPG and Miles Gibson has 10.8 PPG with a team-high 5.4 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Binghamton up to this point in the season.

The Fordham Rams will hope to keep the winning ways going after a 72-59 win over Wagner last time out. Darius Quisenberry has a team-high 18.4 PPG along with 3.7 RPG and 3.1 APG while Khalid Moore has 14.4 PPG with 5.7 RPG this season. Kyle Rose has 10 PPG to cap off the scoring in double figures for Fordham so far this year while Antrell Charlton has 7.9 PPG with 4.2 RPG and 4.6 APG to lead the Rams in the assist department this season.

Binghamton is  1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Fordham is 4-17 ATS in their last 21 Friday games and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games against a team with a losing road record while the under is 7-0 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.

I get the reasoning for backing either one of these two here, but I’m going to look at Fordham. The Rams had the cupboards left stocked when Kyle Neptune bolted for Villanova, but that has just seemingly put fuel on the fire for Fordham who have taken no prisoners early on this season. Binghamton’s battled hard in spots, but they haven’t really beaten anyone to suggest that they’d be a formidable opponent here. Give me the Fordham Rams in this one.
