Defensively, New Hampshire is holding their opponents to an average of 65.5 ppg on 43.2% shooting from the field. The Wildcats have a rebound margin of 4.1 and a turnover margin of 0.2.

The Bearcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, however, are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Wildcats are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win & 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win.

Binghamton has struggled as of late, losing 4 of their last 5 games, and has struggled on offensive end of the court this season as the Bearcats currently rank just 239^th in scoring offense, 166^th in FG%, & 189^th in three-pointers made per game. New Hampshire has been led by their defense this season, ranking 69^th in scoring defense & 65^th in defensive FG%, and between the fact that the Wildcats are 9-3 at home this season and recently defeated Binghamton by a 69-60 margin on the road just two weeks ago, I think the play here is to take New Hampshire to cover this mid-range home spread. Good Luck!
