What to Know

Wagner's defense has only allowed 63.2 points per game this season, so the Sharks' offense will have their work cut out for them.

The point spread may have favored Wagner last Thursday, but the final result did not. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 73-72 to the Blue Devils. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Wagner in their matchups with the Blue Devils: they've now lost three in a row.

Meanwhile, the Sharks beat the Dolphins 76-64 on Thursday.

Sunday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy match: Wagner haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 10 turnovers per game. It's a different story for LIU, though, as they've been averaging 14.5 turnovers per game. Given Wagner's sizable advantage in that area, the Sharks will need to find a way to close that gap.

Looking ahead, Wagner is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by nine points. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a four-game streak of failing to cover when expected to win.
