What to Know
The Bryant Bulldogs haven’t won a contest against the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights since Jan. 28 of 2017, but they’ll be looking to end the drought on Saturday. Bryant and Fairleigh Dickinson will face off in a Northeast battle at 1 p.m. ET at Chace Athletic Center. The Bulldogs are out to keep their eight-game home win streak alive.
While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Bryant and the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils on Thursday was still a pretty decisive one as Bryant wrapped it up with a 75-61 win at home.
Meanwhile, Fairleigh Dickinson suffered a grim 64-44 defeat to the Merrimack Warriors on Thursday.
Bryant is now 16-9 while the Knights sit at 3-19. A pair of defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Bulldogs are 45th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74.1 on average. Fairleigh Dickinson has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.70% from the floor on average, which is the 348th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
