Who's Playing
LIU @ St. Peter's
Current Records: LIU 0-3; St. Peter's 0-2
What to Know
The LIU Sharks will hit the road for the fourth straight game as they head to Yanitelli Center at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. Both teams were wiped off the court in their previous games and will be looking to bounce back in a big way.
It's hard to picture a worse loss than the 93-40 bruising that LIU suffered against the Connecticut Huskies last Wednesday. Forward Isaac Kante (17 points) was the top scorer for the Sharks.
Meanwhile, the St. Peter's Peacocks suffered a grim 91-70 defeat to the St. John's Red Storm two weeks ago.
LIU have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.50 point spread they are up against. They have failed bettors playing the spread in all their past three games, so buyers beware.
LIU is now 0-3 while St. Peter's sits at 0-2. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: LIU is 354th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 54.7 on average. The Peacocks have experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 36.40% percent of their shots, which is the 348th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
