LIU comes in at 15-8 with a strong 7-1 home record, while Stonehill is 9-15 and has struggled to travel (3-12 away). That gap is why you’re seeing LIU laying double digits and a total in the low 130s. The betting question is whether LIU’s offensive efficiency turns into separation, or whether Stonehill’s rebounding keeps this within range for a cover.

Stonehill Skyhawks Betting Form
Stonehill is coming off a 74-58 loss to Fairleigh Dickinson, and it looked like the kind of game that keeps showing up in their road profile: limited scoring bursts, too many possessions where they have to grind for a tough look, and not enough easy points to stay attached.
The way Stonehill hangs in a game like this is through the glass. They rebound at a strong rate and can turn misses into extra possessions, which is exactly how underdogs cover big numbers without needing to shoot well. If Davante Hackett is controlling the paint again and the Skyhawks avoid live-ball turnovers, they can shorten the game and make LIU earn every margin point.

LIU Sharks Betting Form
LIU’s profile is simple and it’s why they’re priced as the clear favorite. They shoot it well enough, they can score without needing chaos, and at home they’ve been steady. Their recent run of wins also matters from a betting angle because it suggests they’re defending consistently, which is what you want when you’re laying points.
The risk with LIU -10.5 is always the same in these spots. If they drift into long mid-range possessions and the game slows, the margin becomes fragile. Favorites cover double digits when they either dominate the turnover battle, win the free-throw math, or create a clear efficiency gap. LIU can get there with shot-making, but it helps if they keep the tempo from bogging down.

Stonehill Skyhawks vs LIU Sharks Matchup Breakdown
This game should be shaped by two things: possession control and shot quality. Stonehill’s rebounding gives them a realistic path to staying inside the number because extra possessions cover up offensive limitations. If they can win the glass and keep LIU out of transition, the Skyhawks can force a half-court game where every bucket is a grind, and that naturally compresses margins.
LIU’s edge is efficiency. They shoot a solid percentage from the field and from three, and against a team that struggles to score, that’s often enough. The Sharks don’t need to be perfect. They just need to avoid letting Stonehill turn missed shots into extended possessions that drag the pace down and keep the score within single digits.
The total at 132.5 fits the likely script: moderate pace, lots of half-court possessions, and long stretches where Stonehill is trying to manufacture points. If LIU gets a quick lead and Stonehill has to chase, the only way the total climbs is through fouls and free throws. If Stonehill stays close, the game can stay methodical, which usually favors the under.
Stonehill Skyhawks vs LIU Sharks Predictions and Best Bets
My lean is Stonehill +10.5. I’m not betting on Stonehill to outplay LIU for 40 minutes. I’m betting on their rebounding keeping this from turning into a clean separation game. Double-digit spreads in low totals are naturally harder to cover, because the favorite has fewer possessions to build margin and one cold stretch can keep the door open.
On the total, I lean under 132.5. Stonehill’s offensive ceiling on the road has been limited, and their best cover path is slowing the game and winning second-chance possessions, not trading threes. LIU can score efficiently, but a comfortable favorite often plays more conservative late, and that tends to suppress totals unless the underdog is forced into a foul-heavy finish.
Best Bet: Stonehill +10.5
