Wagner vs Maryland-Eastern Shore Prediction

I’m not excited to get behind the Maryland-Eastern Shore Hawks, but laying points with Wagner isn’t the move either. We’re talking about a Wagner team that’s been held to 60 or fewer points five times this season. The same Wagner team that scored 28 points against Seton Hall. Maryland-Eastern Shore is battle-tested with games against UCONN, Arkansas, and Illinois, and at some point, those games have to pay off in spots like this. I just get there with Wagner just because Maryland-Eastern Shore is awful. Give me the points with the Hawks.
