Canisius heads to Fairfield on Thursday night to face Sacred Heart at the William H. Pitt Center in a MAAC matchup that is priced with a clear favorite. Sacred Heart is laying 9.5 points at home, which tells you the market is buying the offensive gap and the idea the Pioneers can create separation with pace, threes, and free throws. Canisius is the side that needs the game to stay connected early, because once the margin hits double digits, the underdog has to chase, and that’s when turnovers and empty trips become more damaging. The betting lens starts with shot volume and efficiency. Sacred Heart has shown a real scoring ceiling, and it has multiple ways to get points without

Marist heads to Albany on Thursday night for a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game against Siena at MVP Arena. The market is tight with Siena laying a small number at home, which is exactly the type of spot where pace, late-game shot quality, and free throws decide the bet more than anything else.

The Panthers can score, they play with volume, and they’re comfortable in games that turn into trading buckets. Robert Morris, on the other hand, has the cleaner home

Monmouth heads to Hampton on Thursday night for a Coastal Athletic Association game that’s priced as a one-possession decision. Hampton is laying a small number at home, and that tells you the market is leaning into home-floor control, rebounding, and the idea the Pirates can dictate the style late. Monmouth brings the better “one guy can swing it” scoring profile, and the Hawks’ recent win over Northeastern is the type of game that travels when the shots are clean and the rebounding is consistent. This matchup also sets up as a game-script handicap more than anything else. If Monmouth is getting to the line and converting, it can survive stretches where the offense gets sticky in the halfcourt and still
