Binghamton vs New Hampshire Picks and Predictions – January 22, 2026

Binghamton heads to Durham for an America East matchup with New Hampshire on Thursday, January 22, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET. The game is at Lundholm Gymnasium and streams on ESPN+. This is a conference spot where the market is leaning hard into the home team, but the total is still modest, which usually means the favorite is expected to win with defense and control more than a shootout.

Binghamton is 4-16 and 0-10 on the road, which is the first thing you have to price into any side bet. New Hampshire is 5-12 overall but 4-2 at home, and the Wildcats are laying 7.5 with a -400 moneyline. The total sits at 136.5, suggesting this is more likely to be a half-court game where points are earned, not gifted.

Binghamton Betting Form

Binghamton’s biggest issue has been translating offense into consistent stretches, especially away from home. The 78-60 loss to UMBC is a good example of the problem. They had individual scoring, but the game still got away from them because they couldn’t string together stops and efficient possessions at the same time. That’s how underdogs turn into double-digit losses even when they shoot a decent percentage.

From a betting angle, the one thing Binghamton can lean on is free throws. If you’re catching 7.5, you want a path to points that does not depend on making threes at a high clip, and getting to the line is the cleanest way to do that. It also matters late. If this game stays within two possessions, free throws can turn a cover into a cash even if the Bearcats never seriously threaten to win.

For a deeper look at their road splits and game-to-game scoring volatility, start with Binghamton stats and results. The key handicap is whether they can reduce live-ball turnovers, because that’s where road teams get buried fast.

New Hampshire Betting Form

New Hampshire is priced like the more stable team at home, and the Maine game is exactly what backers want to see. A 65-48 win is not just about scoring, it’s about control. When the Wildcats are defending, they don’t need to be explosive offensively to cover a number like -7.5. They just need steady shot quality and enough rebounding to keep the opponent from generating extra possessions.

At Lundholm Gymnasium, the Wildcats have been more reliable, and that shows up in their defensive posture. They’re more connected in the half-court, and they tend to avoid the kind of loose possessions that fuel underdog runs. That matters here because Binghamton’s best chance to stay inside the number is a run sparked by turnovers and quick points.

For recent form and home splits, check New Hampshire schedule and stats. The core question is whether they can win the possession game enough to make Binghamton’s free-throw edge irrelevant.

Binghamton vs New Hampshire Matchup Breakdown

This game sets up as a half-court battle unless Binghamton can create chaos. New Hampshire will be comfortable slowing pace, defending the arc, and forcing Binghamton into long possessions. If the Wildcats do that, the under becomes live because the game will have fewer transition points and fewer easy baskets.

Binghamton’s path is to win at the line and keep the game physically contested. If they can draw fouls and make this a stop-start game, it not only gives them points, it also keeps New Hampshire from getting into a smooth offensive rhythm. That’s the kind of script that helps a road underdog cover because it lowers the number of “clean” possessions where the favorite can build margin.

The spread at 7.5 is really a question of whether Binghamton can avoid the one bad five-minute stretch. Their road record says they usually can’t. But the total at 136.5 suggests this is not projected to be a runaway. In a lower-scoring game, 7.5 points is meaningful. A couple of made free throws and one late three can swing the cover.

If you want a consistent framework for pricing these spread and total combinations, the expert betting guide is useful for tightening how you think about possessions, efficiency, and late-game variance.

Binghamton vs New Hampshire Predictions and Best Bets

I lean Binghamton +7.5, but it’s a cautious lean because 0-10 on the road is a major warning sign. The reason I still prefer the dog is the total. In a game lined at 136.5, every point in the spread is worth more. If Binghamton can get to the line and avoid turnover runs, they have a realistic path to hanging around even if New Hampshire controls most of the night.

On the total, I lean under 136.5. New Hampshire’s best wins tend to be defensive and methodical, and Binghamton’s offense can stall for long stretches. If the Wildcats keep the game in the half-court and Binghamton does not shoot efficiently from deep, this total can land in the low 130s without needing an extreme pace drop.

Best Bet: Under 136.5
