Texas Arlington at Niagara

Niagara essentially is the home team in the final of the Barclays Center Classic. The team enters this one off a 96-74 win over Alabama A&M with Matt Scott scoring a team-leading 28 points and Kahlil Dukes adding 23 for the Eagles, who return all five starters this season. Texas Arlington comes off an 89-65 win over Western Carolina while holding the Catamounts to just 35.5 percent shooting and Johnny Hamilton exploded for 30 points for the Mavericks, who lost three starters from last year's squad. Niagara is 5-2 ATS over its last seven non-conference games dating to last season. Texas Arlington is allowing 74.2 points per game and a .430 field goal percentage, but it's too many points to lay as the visitor. I'm taking Niagara plus the points, but I also think they have a shot at the outright win. Play Niagara and the UNDER.
