What to Know

The Merrimack Warriors' road trip will continue as they head to DeGol Arena at 2 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Merrimack ended up a good deal behind the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers when they played on Thursday, losing 69-53.

Meanwhile, St. Francis (Pa.) came up short against the Bryant Bulldogs on Thursday, falling 89-82.

The Warriors are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Now might not be the best time to take Merrimack against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past six consecutive games.

Merrimack is now 8-14 while St. Francis (Pa.) sits at 7-15. Two stats to keep an eye on: Merrimack is 354th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 58.2 on average. The Red Flash have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 40th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 74.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
