Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Super Bowl
A pair of teams from the MAAC lock up on the hardwood in the Big Apple in search of a conference victory in Western New York. The Quinnipiac Bobcats are on the road as they make the trip to take on the Canisius Golden Griffins Sunday afternoon. Quinnipiac comes in off a 79-73 overtime road loss to Niagara in their previous contest Friday night, losing outright as a 2.5-point favorite. Canisius was routed 80-59 by Iona at home Friday night, failing to cover the line as a 12-point underdog.
