What to Know

FDU will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. The FDU Knights and the Sacred Heart Pioneers will face off in a Northeast battle at 2:00 p.m. ET at Bogota Savings Bank Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

FDU unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Thursday. The contest between the Knights and the Blue Devils wasn't a total blowout, but with the Knights falling 76-60 at home it was darn close to turning into one. FDU found out winning isn't easy when your shooting is a whole 18.3% worse than the opposition.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Sacred Heart last Thursday, but the final result did not. They took a 75-71 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Red Flash. Sacred Heart's loss signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.

Saturday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy contest: FDU have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 37 rebounds per game. It's a different story for Sacred Heart, though, as they've been averaging only 33.4 rebounds per game. Given FDU's sizeable advantage in that area, Sacred Heart will need to find a way to close that gap.

FDU came up short against Sacred Heart when the teams last played back in February of 2023, falling 94-86. Will FDU have more luck at home instead of on the road?
