St. Francis (Pa.) is on the road again Saturday and plays against LIU at 2 p.m. ET Jan. 8 at Steinberg Wellness Center. The Sharks should still be riding high after a win, while the Red Flash will be looking to regain their footing.

Meanwhile, LIU had enough points to win and then some against the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers on Thursday, taking their game 74-57.

St. Francis (Pa.) is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past five games, so buyers beware.
