What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the LIU Sharks will be on the road. LIU and the St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash will face off in a Northeast battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at DeGol Arena. The Sharks will be strutting in after a win while St. Francis (Pa.) will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Bryant Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday LIU proved too difficult a challenge. LIU took down Bryant 99-88.

Meanwhile, the Red Flash were close but no cigar on Saturday as they fell 54-52 to the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers.

Barring any buzzer beaters, LIU is expected to win a tight contest. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on LIU's opponents whenever they hit the road.

The Sharks didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with St. Francis (Pa.) in the teams' previous meeting in January, but they still walked away with a 75-70 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for LIU since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
