How To Watch

What to Know

Quinnipiac has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Holy Cross Crusaders at 7:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Hart Recreation Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Last Monday, the Bobcats came up short against the Bulldogs and fell 73-66. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Quinnipiac has scored all season.

Quinnipiac struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only five offensive rebounds. That's the fewest offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, Holy Cross' recent rough patch got a bit rougher last Friday after their fourth straight loss. They were dealt a punishing 95-64 loss at the hands of the Eagles. The contest was up for grabs at halftime, but sadly Holy Cross was thoroughly outmatched 62-33 in the second half.

It's a different story for Holy Cross, though, as they've been averaging only 32.4 rebounds per game.
