What to Know

The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights will be returning home after a four-game road trip. Fairleigh Dickinson and the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Rothman Center. The Knights lost both of their matches to St. Francis (N.Y.) last season on scores of 75-83 and 87-90, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season.

There's no need to mince words: Fairleigh Dickinson lost to the Wagner Seahawks on Monday, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 95-64.

Meanwhile, St. Francis (N.Y.) lost to the LIU Sharks at home by a decisive 80-65 margin.

The losses put Fairleigh Dickinson at 1-12 and the Terriers at 4-13. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Knights have only been able to knock down 38% percent of their shots, which is the 354th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. St. Francis (N.Y.) has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47% from the floor on average, which is the fourth highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
