The New Hampshire Wildcats and Maine Black Bears meet Monday in college basketball action at the Cross Insurance Center. The New Hampshire Wildcats look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Maine Black Bears look to snap a seven-game losing streak.

This is a lot of points to lay with a subpar team on the road, but it’s an indication of just how bad Maine is. The Maine Black Bears are one of the worst offensive teams in the league, without a single double-digit scorer. Maine loses in the underdog role by an average of 19.7 points, and is losing its last five games by an average of 14 points. It’s New Hampshire or pass for me.
