The Seawolves are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win & just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Bearcats are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, however, are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games.
Stony Brook has been led by their offense this season as the Seawolves come into this game ranked 174th in scoring offense & t-87th in three-pointers made per game, however, Stony Brook has struggled defensively and currently rank just 279th in scoring defense & 323rd in defensive FG%. Binghamton has been below average on both ends of the court this season and come into this game ranked 195th in scoring offense, 170th in scoring defense, & 214th in defensive FG%.
Stony Brook is coming off as solid win against UMBC, however, this is a team that is just 1-5 on the road this season and has really struggled as of late ATS on the road. Binghamton has won 3 of their last 4 games and as I think their offense will be able to have some success against a Stony Brook defense that has allowed some points this season, I think the play here is to take Binghamton and the point. Good Luck!
