Final Thoughts
While Stonehill has owned the head-to-head results this season, Le Moyne’s overall statistical advantages, home court advantage, and steadier offensive production suggest they should win this game. I recommend taking the points with Stonehill, as my projections make this a one-possession game. But Le Moyne would be disappointed if they failed to get a win here to advance to the next round of the NEC tournament.
