St. Francis (N.Y.)’s win brought them up to 8-9 while LIU’s loss pulled them down to 2-15. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Terriers have only been able to knock down 40.90% percent of their shots, which is the 16th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Sharks have experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 48.50% from the floor on average, which is the 355th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
