Wagner has been outstanding on both ends of the court this season as the Seahawks come into this game ranked 56th in scoring offense, 17th in FG%, 33rd in scoring defense, & 49th in defensively FG%. The Terriers have had issues on both ends of the court and currently rank just 269th in scoring offense, 311th in FG%, & 338th in defensive FG%.
St. Francis (BKN) is coming off a solid win, however, this is still not a very great team and has struggled against some of the better teams in the NEC as they had 15+ point losses to bout LIU & Bryant. Wagner is the team to beat in the NEC as they are solid on both ends of the court and as I think the Seahawks have no trouble winning this one by 15-20 points, I’m taking Wagner to cover this large road spread. Good Luck!
