Betting Trends for vs
The Saint Joseph’s Hawks currently sit at the bottom of the A-10 with a 0-7 record, and they will be forced to play a UMass team that is coming off a very good win against the Duquesne Dukes. The Hawks have really struggled on both sides of the court this season, especially in conference play as they score an average of 64.6 PPG while allowing 80 PPG. UMass has an extremely young roster as their top 3 scorers are freshmen, but they are playing confident as of recent as they are only averaging over 14 PPG. The Minutemen should be able to find success on the Saint Joseph’s defense, especially in the paint as they are allowing opponents to connect on 51.9% of their attempts, and that will lead to an easy win at home. Final Score Prediction, UMass Minutemen win and cover ATS 76-65.
