It might as well be March, because today someone's season ends. FDU plays host to CCSU in the opening battle between the 8 and 9 seeds in the NEC. Here's the thing, if you remove forfeits from the season this game shouldn't be happening. FDU lost a game to a forfeit and CCSU won a game because of one. Therefore, FDU has a better true conference record to me. It doesnt hurt that Central Conn went to FDU a month ago and got whooped by 20 either. I give the edge to the home team here in New Jersey and see a big win as a more probable outcome than a single possesion victory. Lay the 3 points now to avoid the hook because it could get bought back to 3.5 later today.

FDU is playing its best basketball of the season. In their last two home games, the Knights have knocked off NEC No. 2 seed Wagner and No. 6 seed Sacred Heart. Their final regular-season game was a 7-point loss at No. 3 seed LIU. FDU has covered four of its last five. While these teams split in the regular-season, ShotQuality data had the Knights winning both "fairly easily," per insider Jordan Majewski. The Rothman Center in Hackensack, N.J., should be jumping tonight as the Knights' last home game drew a record-setting crowd. Lay the points.
