What to Know

The Wagner Seahawks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. Wagner and the Sacred Heart Pioneers will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at William Pitt Center - West Gym. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Seahawks winning the first 74-46 at home on the road and Sacred Heart taking the second 86-85.

Wagner entered their contest against the Merrimack Warriors on Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Wagner took a hard 80-65 fall against Merrimack. What made the defeat an especially bitter pill for Wagner to swallow was that they had been favored by 12 points coming into the matchup.

Meanwhile, the Pioneers came up short against the Warriors on Tuesday, falling 70-63.

The losses put the Seahawks at 17-3 and Sacred Heart at 8-17. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Wagner comes into the game boasting the 33rd fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 63.1. On the other end of the spectrum, Sacred Heart is 29th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 75.3 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Sacred Heart.
