Niagara is just 1-3 on the season but they pushed Detroit Mercy to overtime and fell to Bowling Green by eight in their last two outings. The Purple Eagles are hitting 11.5 three-pointers per game (18th in Division I) while shooting 39.7% from beyond the arc (47th) on the year. That percentage hasn't tapered off on the road much as they hit 38.5% of their long-range attempts as the visitors. Kent State is 217th in three-point defense, 268th in effective field goal percentage defense (54.2%) and 331st in forced turnover percentage (13.1%) this season. If Niagara hits from the outside as usual, they hang in this game and cover the line.
