Current Records: St. Francis (N.Y.) 4-13; Fairleigh Dickinson 1-12
What to Know
The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights will be returning home after a four-game road trip. The Knights and the St. Francis (N.Y.) Terriers will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET on Friday at Rothman Center. Fairleigh Dickinson lost both of their matches to St. Francis (N.Y.) last season on scores of 75-83 and 87-90, so they’re hoping to turn the tables this season.
It’s never fun to lose, and it’s even less fun to lose 95-64, which was the final score in Fairleigh Dickinson’s tilt against the Wagner Seahawks on Monday.
Meanwhile, St. Francis (N.Y.) received a tough blow on Monday as they fell 80-65 to the LIU Sharks.
The losses put Fairleigh Dickinson at 1-12 and St. Francis (N.Y.) at 4-13. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Knights have only been able to knock down 38% percent of their shots, which is the 355th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Terriers have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47% from the floor on average, which is the sixth highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
