What to Know

Get ready for a Northeast battle as the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights and the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils will face off at 1 p.m. ET Saturday at William H. Detrick Gymnasium. The odds don't look promising for Fairleigh Dickinson, but the bigger the opponent is, the harder they fall.

The contest between the Knights and the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with Fairleigh Dickinson falling 81-64 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, Central Connecticut State was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 54-52 to the Wagner Seahawks.

The losses put Fairleigh Dickinson at 2-16 and Central Connecticut State at 5-18. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Fairleigh Dickinson has allowed their opponents to shoot 48.10% from the floor on average, which is the 350th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Blue Devils have experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 39.50% percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
