Wagner vs St. Francis (PA) Prediction

You can make a case for Wagner and the points, as it beat St. Francis (PA) twice in January. Wagner has won five straight games against St. Francis (PA) and nine of the last 10 games overall. However, both meetings this season were decided by two points, including one of the games needing overtime. A bounce here or bounce there and St. Francis (PA) wins those games. Wagner has issues scoring the ball and is coming off two straight games where it scored less than 50 points. St. Francis (PA) has seen nine of its 13 wis come at home and it’s playing its best ball of the season with three straight wins. St. Francis (PA) has topped 80 points in three straight games. If that continues, Wagner lacks the horses to counter. Give me St. Francis (PA) and a reasonable number, as the Red Flash make the NEC semifinals.
