St. Francis PA started out a rocky 4-5 this year, then hit a six-game losing streak to Illinois, Robert Morris, Wagner, Fairleigh Dickinson, St. Francis BK and LIU. It’s been a 3-1 stretch since with wins over Merrimack, Central CT State and Sacred Heart. 

In the Sacred Heart game on Sunday, the Flash were down 41-39 at halftime. After a 46-33 surge in the second half, St. Francis PA had an 85-74 win. Leading the way was Maxwell Land with 20 points and four rebounds. Myles Thompson added 17 points as well. 

Over on the Wagner side, they lost two of their first five games versus Seton Hall and Penn State. The Seahawks have won their last nine games however. In the last four Wagner has taken out St. Francis BK, Fairleigh Dickinson, LIU and Merrimack.

In the Merrimack game, the Seahawks played a pretty tight first half and went into the break with a two-point lead. Wagner hit a 41-29 run from there for a 71-57 victory. Tops in scoring was Elijah Ford on 20 points, three rebounds and three assists. 

The Seahawks are 4-0 ATS in the last four after an ATS win and 20-7 ATS in their last 27 overall. Wagner is 4-1 ATS in the last five Thursday games. 

Meanwhile, the Flash are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall and 0-5 ATS in their last five Thursday games. St. Francis PA is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 after an ATS win. 

PICK: I’m going to stay with Wagner here. The Seahawks have notched some solid offensive performances during this win streak. They’ve hit 71 or more points in eight of those games (63 in the other) and 81 or more points in four of their last five outings. 

The last time these teams met up, it was a 72-64 Wagner win. The Seahawks went on a 41-34 second-half run to seal the victory. This one certainly won’t be a carbon copy, but I think both teams will score fairly well again in a Wagner cover.
