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.

• New Hampshire has lost each of its last six road games.

UCONN vs New Hampshire Prediction

I’m on UConn here. This is a big number, but we saw UConn cover a similar number against Sacred Heart, and last year, UConn had multiple 30+ point wins in non-conference play against inferior opposition. My concern for New Hampshire is that they gave up 103 to UMass in their opener, and allowed UMass to get whatever they wanted on the floor. I think this one could be covered by halftime. Give me the Huskies.

New Hampshire vs Vermont Betting Prediction

Vermont comes into this game as the #1 seed in the America East Tournament, as they were 15-1 in conference play during the regular season. The Catamounts didn’t play their best in their last game against Albany and needed a few big shots late in the game for the win. New Hampshire is only shooting 41.6% from the field, which is going to be an issue against Vermont’s great defense. Vermont won both meetings during the regular season by scores of 70-54 and 68-64. Vermont has struggled in their last two games and I think New Hampshire will have confidence after their narrow loss just a couple of games ago. Take the points with the Wildcats.

Binghamton Looks for Fourth Straight Win

Binghamton has played well heading into this game and they have won three games in a row. In the last game against UMBC, it wasn’t the best game, but Binghamton was able to pick up the one point road victory. Nehemiah Benson had a strong game putting up 16 points, five rebounds, and one assist. Binghamton is averaging 72.4 points while their defense is giving up 70.6 points per game. Tymu Chenery is averaging 14.8 points while shooting 50.9 percent from the field. Binghamton needs to get out to a fast start and really put the pressure on here. 

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.

New Hampshire Wildcats vs Maine Black Bears prediction

The New Hampshire Wildcats have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against Maine, so there’s a case to be made for the road dog. However, the Maine Black Bears have spent the last month on the road which includes games against UCF and Minnesota, so this is a battle tested team coming back home. The Maine Black Bears are also far more efficient on the offensive side and will have the best player on the floor for this matchup. Maine is 3-1 SU at home this season. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Maine Black Bears and the small chalk.

Pick

I’m leaning towards Albany and the points here. I get why UNH is favored at home, but the issue I have is that neither team is blowing anyone away right now and New Hampshire isn’t some world-beater in the America East. Both teams are being outscored by around three points per game in their last five, so even with home court, I have to side with Albany and the points here.

New Hampshire plays enough defense to hang around at home. I’ll take the points.

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.

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.

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.

New Hampshire won their first two games this year, then hit a five-game losing streak. The Wildcats would rebound with a win over Boston College and a loss to St. John’s. New Hampshire as beaten Saint Joseph and Holy Cross in the pair since. 

In Monday’s matchup versus Holy Cross, New Hampshire jumped out to a 39-29 lead by halftime. The Wildcats hit a 39-31 run in the second half and cruised to the 78-60 win. Clarence O. Daniels posted 30 points with eight rebounds in the victory. 

Over on the Brown side, they lost four of their first five games, then hit a win streak versus Maine, Central Connecticut State, Bryant, Hartford and Rhode Island. The Bears lost to Michigan State in their last game. 

Back on December 10 versus Michigan State, the Bears were drilled 32-18 in the first half. Brown didn’t end up getting closer and lost 68-50. Paxson Wojcik managed a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds. 

PICK: I’ll probably stay with Brown. Also probably not touching it, though. The Bears need to rebound from a sketchy showing versus Michigan State, however. Brown shot just 33.3 percent from the field and 4-of-20 (20 percent) from 3-point range in that one and got out-rebounded 43-36 (12-11 offensive). That said, New Hampshire should be a more comparable matchup for the Bears and I think Brown will get back to form. Speaking of New Hampshire, they’ve scored 74 or more points in three of their last four games and could give Brown some trouble if they’re on point.

Holy Cross has managed to beat Dean, Colby-Sawyer and Central CT State this year. Otherwise the losses have come to Siena, Creighton, Stonehill, Fordham, UIC, Harvard, Quinnipiac and Northeastern. 

In the Matchup versus Northeastern on December 10, the Crusaders were up 31-26 by halftime. Holy Cross was outscored 33-27 from there and lost 59-58. Gerrale Gates put up 19 points and eight boards to lead the team. 

Over on the New Hampshire side, they’ve beaten Brandeis, Fairfield, Boston College and Saint Joseph this year. The Wildcats’ losses have been to Fordham, Boston U, George Washington, Sacred Heart, Columbia and St. John’s. 

In the game versus Saint Joseph, the Wildcats were up 45-37 by halftime. New Hampshire kept it up in the second with 59 more points in a 104-61 win. Matthew Herasme put up 17 points with five rebounds to lead the way. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with New Hampshire. Granted, there’s not a ton of intrigue here but the Wildcats should have control. New Hampshire is just 2-3 in their last five games. The Wildcats lost two of those by five points or fewer, though. New Hampshire should match up pretty well against Holy Cross, who has scored 63 or fewer points in three of their last four games. If the Crusaders are playing well they’ll make this one interesting but I don’t think they’ll cover.

The only reason to shy away from the Boston College Eagles here is because it’s a trap game, after just playing Duke and having Villanova on deck. With that said, the New Hampshire Wildcats are one of the worst offensive teams in the league, which includes shooting 31.7 percent from the field in their last 5 games. If BC can’t roll here at home, something is wrong.

New Hampshire had a manageable opponent in their opener game versus Brandeis. The Wildcats were up 39-25 at halftime and kept it up in a 79-47 blowout win. Clarence O. Daniels (18 points; 10 boards) and Matthew Herasme (11 points; 12 rebounds) both doubled up.

Over on the Fordham side, they kicked off their season versus Dartmouth. The Rams scored 43 points in the first half and 45 more from there in an 88-74 win. Darius Quisenberry led the way on 20 options and four rebounds for Fordham. 

Fordham’s second game was a very tough matchup versus a great Arkansas team. The Rams limped to 21 points in the first half and were blown out 74-48. Quisenberry and Elijah Gray were the only team players in double-figures, each with 10 points. 

PICK: I’m going to try New Hampshire here. All things considered however, this should be a pretty competitive game and a good matchup on paper. The Wildcats have scored pretty well in their first two games so far, averaging 81 points total with at least 39 points in all four halves so far. As for Fordham, they put up 88 points in the win over Dartmouth in their opener. We can pretty much toss out the Arkansas game as a lost cause, though. Overall I like this one to be a high-scoring, competitive affair.

Fairfield had a forgettable campaign in 2021-22, going 15-18 overall. The Stags finished 8-12 in Metro Atlantic Athletic games, putting the team on the lower side of the standings. Fairfield would ultimately fall to Saint Peter’s in the conference tournament. 

In their first action of the season Monday versus Wake Forest, the Stags were outscored 32-25 in the first half. Fairfield didn’t get much better from there in a 71-59 loss. Caleb Fields led the team on 14 points and four rebounds. 

Over on the New Hampshire side, they were barely over .500 last year at 15-13 overall and 10-8 in America East Conference play. The Wildcats finished in fourth place in the standings, behind Vermont, UMBC and Stony Brook. 

The Wildcats opened up their year on Monday versus Brandeis and didn’t have too much trouble. New Hampshire finished strong with 40 second-half points in a 79-47 win. Clarence Daniels managed a double-double (18 points; 10 boards) as did Matthew Herasme (11 points; 12 rebounds). 

PICK: I’ll probably stay with New Hampshire here. Not going near it, though. The Wildcats weren’t exactly up against elite competition in their opener, but they got the job done with a pretty well-rounded effort from much of the roster. As for Fairfield, they were outmatched by a Wake Forest team that shot a tepid 39.1 percent from the field in their opener. This should be a more comparable matchup on both sides.
