The Niagara Purple Eagles had to go through a lot this season on their way to a MAAC Championship. A lack of leadership that resulted in a serious altercation with a Purple Eagle Baseball player that landed him in the hospital with serious injuries , and the subsequent suspension of 6 players , was the beginning of a possible rallying call that led this inexperienced but talented group, to come together as the season progressed behind coach Joe Mihalich. After winning their L/11 games of the season, they now feel disrespected for having to win one more time against a lower ranked Florida A&M program in the play in game in Dayton, Ohio today. With that said ,look for the Purple Eagles to come out here with all guns blazing in what I expect to be a statement game. Final notes & Trends: Niagara is 4-1 ATS L/5 in neutral court games . Projected score: Niagara 83 Florida A&M 67

Bet on Niagara -8.5…
