Quinnipiac holds a competitive advantage in this upcoming matchup due to their strong shooting accuracy, making over 40 percent of their shots, while the Gaels struggle with a shooting percentage of less than 40 percent. Additionally, Quinnipiac has shown proficiency at the free-throw line, making over 74 percent of their attempts, in contrast to the Gaels’ rate of less than 70 percent. The Bobcats excel in rebounding, particularly on the offensive end, which results in increased scoring opportunities.
