Key Stats
Wagner Seahawks
Wagner needed a win over Merrimack in the Northeast Conference tournament finals to get here. Tahron Allen scored 22 points in that game. However, Melvin Council Jr. leads this team in scoring with 14.6 points per game. Furthermore, Javier Ezquerra averages 4.3 assists per game. But in 40 minutes of play, he’ll need to score more than the nine points that he provided for this Wagner Seahawks game if they are going to advance against the Howard Bison.
Howard Bison
Conversely, Howard won three games in three nights in order to play the Wagner Seahawks for a final spot. They defeated Delaware State in the MEAC tournament finals by three points. Jordan Hairston scored 18 points to lead the way. However, the leading scorer for this Howard Bison side is Bryce Harris. Harris averages 16.6 points per game.

Game Prediction
These are two teams that are going to clash in style. Wagner isn’t as explosive on offense. But the Howard Bison have a lot of holes in their defense. Therefore, it’s hard to say which side will prevail. But defense often wins, and I like the overall resume of Wagner better at this point. Furthermore, they are a little more rested as their games were spaced out four days earlier. Therefore, I am going with Wagner to at the very least cover the spread. However, you shouldn’t be surprised if the Wagner Seahawks end up winning outright.
Final Pick
Wagner Seahawks +3.5
