Hartford at Wagner

Hartford is not known for good starts, losing its first two games last year, a 4-7 start two years ago, and a 1-6 start three seasons ago. This season the schedule isn't kind either, playing 11 of its first 13 on the road or at neutral sites. Meanwhile, Wagner is home having won 12 of its last 14 after winning the NEC regular-season title last year and is projected to repeat. They return 82.6% of total minutes played and 89.4% of points scored from last year's squad that was anchored by guards Alex Morales (16.8 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game), Elijah Ford (17.7 points per game, 7.7 rebounds per game), and Will Martinez (12.4 points per game). Play Wagner on the moneyline.
