Wagner vs. SFPA - early game

Question

Anyone playing this one?Wagner has only given up more than 69 points once in conference play (i.e. their last 8 games). They won at home by 9 over SFPA a week ago allowing them only 64 points, so SFPA in the revenge spot here.Wagner strengths on the boards, defense, and rim protection. SFPA with FG% and PPG as a result. Have to assume SFPA will try pushing the pace at home to avoid getting locked down into a half court struggle.

Low handle game for the books. Only lined at -110 due to small card. Might take Wagner if it gets bet up a bit since I wouldn't consider that sharp action on St Francis.
Only sides receiving decent action thus far are Brown and Bakersfield.

PA better offense, Wag better defense. Similar tempo . evenly matched. the 3 pts is basically for home advantage. these lowly conference are usually big on revenge spots. I would have to take PA at home at -3 or less

Wagner down to &#x2B;2.5 on bovada. just moved.Trying to find some advantages here, I do see Wagner with extra motivation protecting a 1st place in division spot, they just beat SFPA and looking at the last 3-4 years I only saw 1-2 games which went over 144 total and one was in OT, the other was at SFPA 3 years ago. So I do like the under here but would prefer a play on the side.

It&#x27;s sharp money on Wagner but that doesn&#x27;t guarantee a cover of course. The &#x2B;2.5 is getting taxed extra at most shops too, so &#x2B;2 or lower is likely coming at some point.

SFPA assistant coach Eric Taylor almost died in September, so close to death they read him his last rites. He underwent a very risky emergency surgery and survived and tonight will be his first game back.

Motivation to win for him is now a factor. I am beginning to have a strong lean to SFPA.

Wagner ... because you get points in what looks like a pretty even matchup. I got it @&#x2B;3.5 this morning- I don&#x27;t know what the line is now

Ziggy-Stardust · Answer

Line is &#x2B;2.5 now. A SFPA win here would make them tied for 1st place with Wagner

You dont think these kids will want to win for their coach? You must not watch much basketball. It&#x27;s a significant angle. And dont forget these teams never sweep the series season.

It&#x27;s his first game back since being almost dead in the hospital for 4 months. And the series has not been swept in years. Don&#x27;t be so dramatic.

El_Terrible · Answer

Actually it&#x27;s more like "Hey, I almost died" why would I give a s**t about a basketball game now?

lmao, the guy is a SFPA alum and school legend who played for the Red Flash in the 90&#x27;s, setting records for rebounding and points scored. Head coach Rob Krimmel also played on that same SFPA team with Eric Taylor in the 1990s and now coach the team together. Take it for what you will.
