Canisius brings shooting, but needs steadier defense

Canisius has shot 47% from the field and 38% from three while averaging 77.3 points per game. Michael Wilson Jr. leads the team at 18.5 points per game. That shooting gives the Golden Griffins a route to keep pace, though their 81.5 points allowed per game leave little margin for a cold stretch.

The Golden Griffins have shown both extremes in their four completed games. They scored 117 against Hiram and followed with an 86-81 road win over Brown, their second straight victory. Before that, Canisius scored 49 in a loss to St. Bonaventure and 57 in a loss at Penn State. The Brown result matters here because Canisius produced enough offense to win away from home without the scoring surge it had against Hiram. Still, those earlier losses make sustained production the question, not simply whether the Griffins can put up points.

Buffalo's defensive activity meets an inconsistent attack

Buffalo averages 77.7 points and 36.0 rebounds per game, with Drew Steffe leading the Bulls in both scoring and assists at 17.3 and 5.3 per game. The Bulls also average 10.3 steals and 5.0 blocks, but their 22% three-point shooting could make it harder to answer if Canisius finds its range.

The Bulls' first home game ended in a 107-65 win over Penn State Schuylkill, a sharp change from road losses to Marshall and Pittsburgh. Buffalo scored 65 at Marshall and 61 at Pittsburgh, so its biggest offensive showing came after two games in which it struggled to reach that level. The Bulls also allowed 92 at Marshall and 80 at Pittsburgh before holding Penn State Schuylkill to 65. The home result offers encouragement, but it does not yet establish which version of Buffalo will appear against Canisius.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Canisius Golden Griffins.

Canisius gets the nod on the strength of its recent road win at Brown and more reliable shooting profile. Buffalo's defensive activity and emphatic home win make this a contest with real uncertainty.
