What to Know

The Sacred Heart Pioneers and the Wagner Seahawks are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 1 at William Pitt Center - West Gym in the first round of the Northeast Conference Tourney.

Sacred Heart came out on top in a nail-biter against the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils this past Saturday, sneaking past 69-67.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks beat the St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash 68-58 this past Saturday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Pioneers are expected to win a tight contest Wednesday. But bettors beware: they are only 5-11-1 against the spread when favored.

Sacred Heart was able to grind out a solid win over Wagner when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season, winning 65-56. Will Sacred Heart repeat their success, or does Wagner have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
