What to Know

The Niagara Purple Eagles' road trip will continue as they head to Koessler Athletic Center at 1 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Canisius Golden Griffins. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Niagara came up short against the Marist Red Foxes on Monday, falling 77-70.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Canisius as they fell 80-76 to the Fairfield Stags on Monday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Purple Eagles are expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The losses put Niagara at 11-13 and Canisius at 8-18. Niagara is 6-6 after losses this year, the Golden Griffins 4-13.
