Two of the worst teams in the nation, but our model has NJIT winning and so do more than a few others I check. ESPN BPI has it a pick'em. Obviously getting 3 is big since we can't lose on a buzzer-beater. While NJIT only won seven games last year, it had two of the America East's top freshmen in Tariq Francis (AE Rookie of the Year) and Levi Lawal and both are back. NJIT is the lone America East team to have two players score 20+ points in a game so far this year. Loyola is under a new coach, plays its first road game and lost a majority of the 6,475 total minutes played last year.
