UMass Lowell vs Sacred Heart Key Stats
The River Hawks have done well on offense and managed an average of 87.3 points scored per game. Both Abdoul Karim Coulibaly and Everette Hammond have been brilliant with FG percentage of over 60 percent. They are not dependent on a few players to contribute, which adds variation to their offense.
The defense has been decent enough to make the win margin bigger and lose margin less. They have made over 9.5 steals and 5.5 blocks and have 15.7 turnovers per game on average, which is great with respect to league standards.
The Pioneers have been decent this season, averaging 71.7 points per game so far. Joey Reilly has averaged 15 points per game with FG percentage of over 60 percent. Aidan Carpenter has played only a single game but has been superb and the team will need his services in this game too.
Their defense is not as aggressive and solid as their offense. All of their wins are close-margin wins and have lost one game by over a 30-point margin. With less than 5.5 steals and 4.5 blocks per game, they can't win every game and need to address it going forward this season.
UMass Lowell vs Sacred Heart Betting Prediction
Both teams have done decent and will try to win another game, but the Sea Hawks are in better shape to win this game. They have been stronger on offense and defense.
The Pioneers because of their vulnerable defense are likely to lose this game.
Prediction : Take River Hawks, Over 148.5(-110)
