What to Know

The Central Connecticut State Blue Devils have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Blue Devils and the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers will face off in a Northeast battle at 4 p.m. ET Friday at Peter Aquilone Court. The teams split their matchups last year, with St. Francis (N.Y.) winning the first 91-86 and Central Connecticut State taking the second 78-59.

Meanwhile, St. Francis (N.Y.) came up short against the Merrimack Warriors on Wednesday, falling 74-64.

Central Connecticut State is expected to lose this next one by 6. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

The Blue Devils are now 3-10 while the Terriers sit at 3-9. Two stats to keep an eye on: Central Connecticut State has only been able to knock down 40% percent of their shots, which is the 19th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. St. Francis (N.Y.) has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.50% from the floor on average, which is the 13th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
