Wagner (9-7, 3-1) at Sacred Heart (9-10, 3-1) – 2:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day heads up to Fairfield, Connecticut where the Sacred Heart Pioneers host the Wagner Seahawks in a matchup of leaders in the Northeast Conference. As is typical of an NEC team, Sacred Heart had a 7-game losing streak in nonconference play. The Pioneers have since rebounded with wins in 5 of their last 6 games to vault themselves into a 3-way tie for first place along with Wagner and Central Connecticut State. Joey Reilly had 23 points for SHU in their most recent game – an 80-73 win at Le Moyne.
Wagner didn’t have as long a losing streak as Sacred Heart did in noncon play, but the Seahawks also come into today having won five out of their last six games. Melvin Council Jr. had 15 points in Wagner’s 71-65 win at Merrimack in their last outing.
