It has not been a good season for New Hampshire as the Wildcats take to the road with a 3-15 record to take on UM Baltimore County. The Wildcats are hitting just 41% of their shots and will look to slow things down vs. a UMBC team that shoots 49% on the season and 39% from long range. These teams have been similar on the defensive end, and neither team has an edge off the glass as they are both -4 in net rebounding. Since 2018, the Retrievers are a .500 team when laying points, and this is the biggest line they've been asked to lay all season. I think both the spread and total are too high on this game. New Hampshire plays a very slow tempo, and getting margin on this team isn't always easy. They've also played UNDER in 21 of their past 31 games. I like New Hampshire in this one. Take the generous points, and play this game to stay UNDER the total.
