Why Fairleigh Dickinson can cover

Fairleigh Dickinson has already picked up one win over Stonehill in the last six days, posting an 81-74 win in overtime last Saturday. The Knights led by 17 points at halftime before having to regroup following a poor second half. Sophomore forward Jo'el Emanuel scored a game-high 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds, with nine of his points coming in overtime. 

Freshman guard Terrence Brown converted on 5 of 9 attempts from the floor and shot 3 of 4 from 3-point range to finish with 15 points. Junior forward Ansley Almonor leads the team with 15.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, while senior forward Sean Moore is adding 12.3 points and 7.8 boards. Fairleigh Dickinson has covered the spread in four of its last five road games, and Stonehill College is just 5-14-1 against the spread in its last 20 games. 

Why Stonehill can cover

Stonehill put together an impressive second half in last Saturday's loss to the Knights, recovering from a 17-point halftime deficit to force overtime. The Skyhawks were led by Tony Felder, who scored 18 points and had two steals. Jackson Benigni added 16 points, six rebounds and two steals, while Max Zegarowski chipped in 13 points. 

While they might be on a six-game losing streak, four of their last five losses have come by 10 points or less. They were 25.5-point underdogs in their 59-58 loss to Rutgers at the end of December, nearly springing one of the biggest upsets in college basketball this season. FDU is 2-6 in its last eight games, so it has not justified its status as a road favorite in conference play. See which team to pick here.
