Wagner Seahawks (ATS) ..

Coming into this season, I was expecting both of these two teams to be at the top of the Northeast Conference. Well, Central Connecticut State has lived up to the hype. It's won 11 consecutive games now and has a comfortable lead in the NEC standings with this as the final game of the season. Obviously, the Blue Devils would love to enter the NEC conf. tournament on a 12 game winning streak, and are favored to do so. However, I don't believe that it will be as easy as people think.

Looking at Wagner, it's been a bit of a down season for the Seahawks. Now, there's most definitely the possibility of them winning this game and go into the tournament feeling confident. It's not like they were going to make the Big Dance without winning this conference tournament anyways. That being said, this game means a lot more to the Seahawks than it does for the Blue Devils. Why? Because CCSU has clinched the top seed in the tourney while Wagner could possibly bump up a spot with the confidence factor on the line.

Just like Central Conn St, Wagner likes to play slow. That will definitely favor the Seahawks this evening as both teams play similar basketball. Let's not forget that Wagner already beat them on the road to open up NEC play. Expect them to challenge the Blue Devils again on Saturday, covering ATS at the very least.

Score Prediction: 66-60 Wagner.
