I love the Purple Eagles....It just scares me that a 0 - 8 Team in a Tournament who needs a win.
I think The Purple Eagles will win here but not sure about the points.....I just might put it on the ML.
I would love

Here is my take on it:
Niagara comes into this game (part of the LaSalle tournament) with a 4-6 record, but they have won 3 in a row. On the year, they've beaten teams like St. Bonaventure, Iona, Duquesne and most recently, Central Michigan. They are led by 6 foot 3 inch junior Charron Fisher, who averages 24.5 points per game. He will undoubtedly be the best player on the Court tonight. They also have a terrific freshman in 6 foot 7 inch Clif Brown, who is averaging 18.3 ppg and an impressive 9.8 rebounds per game.
Meanwhile, the Delaware Blue Hens are 0-9 on the year, and things do not look good for them. They are in the midst of a long road-trip, playing the 4th game of a 5 game road trip. With the exception of 6 foot 7 inch forward Herb Courtney, who averages 16.3 ppg, they really have no one on this team--certainly not anyone who is going to slow down Charron Fisher.
Let's look at the numbers. Niagara averages 67.8 ppg. Delaware averages only 61.2 ppg. Niagara averages 35.0 rebounds per game, while Delaware averages only 30.6. In terms of free throw percentage, Niagara averages 70.7%, while Delaware shoots only 68.6%.
