Quinnipiac at Siena 1/26/20 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Quinnipiac Bobcats are set to visit Times Union Center in Albany, New York for a MAAC clash against the Siena Saints. The Quinnipiac Bobcats come into this matchup with a 10-7 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Fairfield Stags, 81-67. Leading the way for the Quinnipiac Bobcats was junior guard Rich Kelly as he recorded 27 points and 6 assists. Junior forward Kevin Marfo had a productive outing for the Bobcats as he pitched in 13 points and 15 rebounds.

The Quinnipiac Bobcats had a solid shooting game against the Fairfield Stags as they connected on 26 of their 58 field goal attempts (44.8%), but they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (37.5%). The Quinnipiac Bobcats lost the turnover battle against the Fairfield Stags (10-6), but they were even with the Stags in the rebounding department (39-39).

The Siena Saints come into this matchup with an 8-9 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Marist Red Foxes, 70-57. Leading the way for the Siena Saints was senior forward Elijah Burns as he recorded 19 points and 6 rebounds.

The Siena Saints won the turnover battle against the Marist Red Foxes (15-14), and they edged out the Red Foxes in the rebounding department (37-35).

The Siena Saints have been a weird team to handicap as they are undefeated at home but winless on the road which has been the main reason behind their 4-4 record in conference play, but they will have a tough task on their hands here with the Quinnipiac Bobcats. The Quinnipiac Bobcats have been excellent against MAAC opponents as they are 5-2, and they have been excellent on the defensive side of the court as they are holding those opponents to an average of 64.6 PPG. The Siena Saints have not had as much success on the defensive side of the court as they rank 10th in the MAAC in points allowed, and they will have a tough time containing junior guard Rich Kelly who is averaging 18.4 PPG in 7 conference games. The Siena Saints have a good starting lineup with Elijah Burns, Manny Camper, and Jalen Pickett, but their length will be canceled out by Kevin Marfo who is averaging 14.3 RPG over the last 7 games. Quinnipiac looks like the top team in the conference this season, and I think they win this game outright in what will be considered an upset. Final Score Prediction, Quinnipiac Bobcats win and cover ATS 73-66.
