What to Know

The LIU Sharks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They and the Wagner Seahawks are set to clash at 8 p.m. ET March 5 at Spiro Sports Center in the third round of the Northeast Conference Tourney. The Sharks have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Wagner and are hoping to record their first victory since Jan. 14 of last year.

LIU earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing this past Wednesday. They walked away with an 82-75 win over the Sacred Heart Pioneers. LIU's forward Ty Flowers was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 20 points and seven assists in addition to nine boards.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks made easy work of the St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash this past Wednesday and carried off an 82-53 victory. Wagner got double-digit scores from four players: guard DeLonnie Hunt (24), forward Raekwon Rogers (17), guard Zaire Williams (15), and guard Alex Morales (11). That's Alex Morales' first triple-double of the season.

LIU is expected to lose this next one by 6. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 3-8 ATS when expected to lose.

With both teams having displayed their playoff mettle, spectators can expect a high-quality game. Check back with CBS Sports for more details during and after the game.
