Wagner @ LIU

Current Records: Wagner 10-2; LIU 7-9

What to Know

After a three-game homestand, the Wagner Seahawks will be on the road. Wagner and the LIU Sharks will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Steinberg Wellness Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with LIU winning the first 77-66 and the Seahawks taking the second 76-74.

Wagner simply couldn't be stopped on Monday, as they easily beat the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights at home 95-64.

Meanwhile, LIU had enough points to win and then some against the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers on Monday, taking their game 80-65. It took ten tries, but LIU can finally say that they have a win on the road.

Wagner is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (5-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Seahawks came out on top in a nail-biter against the Sharks when the two teams previously met in January of last year, sneaking past 76-74. The rematch might be a little tougher for Wagner since the team won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
