The Niagara Purple Eagles knocked off the Fairfield Stags on February 10th, 95-83, and tonight they will meet in conference tournament play at Times Union Center in Albany, New York. The Purple Eagles are ranked #3 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and can light it up, averaging 84.1 points per game. Niagara is 12-6 in conference play and can cover the number. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 at a neutral site, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games, and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 against the Metro. The Stags are ranked #5 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and 10-9 in conference play. At a neutral site, they are just 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19, and for whatever reason, they have struggled on Saturdays, going 2-5 ATS in their last 7. Niagara took care of Fairfield a few weeks ago, so why not again tonight?
