What to Know

Monmouth is coming in off a wild two-game stretch: after soaring to 88 points two weeks ago, they were much more limited against Auburn on Monday. There's no need to mince words: Monmouth lost to the Tigers, and Monmouth lost bad. The score wound up at 87-58. The Hawks were surely aware of their disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.

Monmouth struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. That's the fewest offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, Stony Brook couldn't handle Albany on Sunday and fell 77-70.

The losing side was boosted by Ben Wight, who went 8 for 13 en route to 19 points plus seven rebounds.

Monmouth's loss dropped their record down to 2-11. As for Stony Brook, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last nine games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-9 record this season.

While both both let their fans down in their last outings, both still covered. Looking forward, Monmouth is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 6.5 points. This contest will be Stony Brook's tenth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 3-5-1 against the spread).
