Massey makes HC a ten point favorite over the Warriors (74-64) with a 77% chance for the win.
Merrimack is currently 3-2. Their wins are over UMass, UNH and Eastern Nazarene. Their losses were to Dartmouth (by 5) and, in perhaps their best game, to Lehigh (68-72) in overtime.

MC with an early 2 point lead 6-4. HC not looking in sync on Offense. MC center has made Manis eat the ball at least twice so far. Ezwemma on the bench, but appears not in uniform

Saders looking super but bench is thin with Ezemma out. Schedule was front loaded with difficulty however so we could be in for a nice ride this season.
