Current Records: Bryant 6-7; Wagner 7-2

What to Know

The Wagner Seahawks haven't won a game against the Bryant Bulldogs since Feb. 8 of 2018, but they'll be looking to end the drought Thursday. Wagner and Bryant will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET at Spiro Sports Center. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Seahawks beat the St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash 72-64 last Wednesday.

Meanwhile, last week Bryant capped 2021 off with an 85-82 win over the Sacred Heart Pioneers.

Wagner is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

The wins brought Wagner up to 7-2 and the Bulldogs to 6-7. A couple defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Seahawks come into the contest boasting the 11th fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 58. On the other end of the spectrum, Bryant is stumbling into the matchup with the 33rd most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 75.5 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Bryant.
