Wagner Form

Wagner enter this First Four matchup having compiled a 16-15 record so far this season.

The Seahawks lost four of their final six games of the regular season, but were at least able to wrap up that schedule on a high.

They beat Sacred Heat 60-57 on the road to go into the Northeast Conference Championship tournament on the back of a victory.

Wagner successfully negotiated the semi-finals as they beat Central Connecticut State, 66-56, to book their place in the final.

The Seahawks then clinched the conference tournament crown by beating Merrimack 54-47 on the final.

Howard Form

Howard come into this game having won seven of their last eight games to take their season record to 18-16.

The Bison enjoyed a late flurry in the regular season as they rebounded from a 75-68 defeat to South Carolina State with four consecutive victories.

They beat Morgan State 78-72 and Coppin State 78-69 at home, before heading out on the road to down Maryland-Eastern Shore, 70-66.

Howard took their streak to four games with an 85-77 home win against Delaware, but failed to wrap up the regular season with a win as they were beaten 77-58 by Norfolk State.

The Bison rebounded in style as they won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament, beating Morgan State 78-65, Norfolk State 80-74 and Delaware State 70-67.

Verdict

Both teams won their conference tournaments, but Howard are clearly the team in better form.

The Bison’s offense is firing on all cylinders, so we like their chances of covering as they secure a spot in the first round of March Madness.
