Current Records: Hartford 1-10; Sacred Heart 4-8

What to Know

The Sacred Heart Pioneers will be returning home after a seven-game road trip. They will take on the Hartford Hawks in a holiday battle at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday at William Pitt Center - West Gym. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Pioneers came up short against the UMass Lowell River Hawks on Sunday, falling 70-62.

Meanwhile, Hartford came up short against the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils this past Saturday, falling 75-65.

Sacred Heart is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in two of their three home games.

The losses put Sacred Heart at 4-8 and Hartford at 1-10. Sacred Heart is 3-4 after losses this season, the Hawks 1-8.
