What you should know
The Wagner Seahawks and Fairleigh Dickinson Knights have been tied against each other since February 2016 (9-9), but not for long. The Seahawks and Fairleigh Dickinson face off in a Northeastern matchup at 4:00 PM ET on Saturday at the Spiro Sports Center. Given that these two teams lost in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Wagner was just a bucket shy of a win on Thursday, falling 58-57 to the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils.
Meanwhile, the Knights fell short against the Sacred Heart Pioneers on Thursday, falling 94-86.
Wagner is now 13-11 while Fairleigh Dickinson sits at 15-13. Two stats to keep in mind as you watch: Wagner has only been able to knock down 40.60% percent of his shots, which is the seventh lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Fairleigh Dickinson has had some struggles of its own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 48.80% from the floor on average, which is the 359th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of those Achilles’ heels will end up tripping up the losing team.
