The Canisius Golden Griffins are off to a disappointing 5-13 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, ninth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and are coming off a loss against the Fairfield Stags (67-58) in their previous outing.
Jordan Henderson came off the bench and scored 13 points, the highest by any player. They will now take on the Quinnipiac Bobcats, who are on a brilliant 14-5 start to the season, who are third in the same conference, and are on a five-game winning streak.
They defeated the Mount St Mary's Mountaineers (58-51) in their last outing where multiple double-digit performances helped the team win in a low-scoring encounter.
The Bobcats will host this game at the M&T Bank Arena, where they will look to secure their sixth consecutive and 15th win overall. The Griffins, on the other hand, will be looking to end their losing start.
