Stonehill Skyhawks Betting Form
Stonehill continues to push pace and shoot from deep — ranking top-50 in 3-point attempt rate. But when the shots don’t fall, their offense completely stalls. Defensively, they struggle with size and physicality, particularly in the paint. That’s been a recurring issue against stronger frontcourts, and Wagner fits that mold.
Still, the Skyhawks can score in bunches. If they get hot from three, they can stay inside the number even if they give up second-chance points. Their turnover rate is also concerning — especially against teams that pressure the ball.

Wagner Seahawks Betting Form
Wagner plays slow, physical basketball and leans heavily on its defense. The Seahawks rank near the top of the NEC in defensive efficiency and have covered well at home in similar matchups. They don’t shoot much from outside, instead relying on offensive rebounding and free-throw creation.
Scoring is the question mark. Wagner isn’t built to win shootouts — they need to keep the pace slow and grind teams out. If they get behind early, their offense may not have the firepower to respond. But if they control tempo, they should wear down Stonehill.

Stonehill Skyhawks vs Wagner Seahawks Predictions and Best Bets
At -7.5, Wagner is a strong lean. Stonehill has a tough time against physical defenses, and Wagner is exactly that — especially at home. The Seahawks should own the boards and keep the Skyhawks in a half-court grind.
The total at 137.5 looks slightly inflated if Wagner sets the tone. Stonehill has been feast-or-famine from deep, and Wagner’s defense is good enough to force long, empty possessions.
Best Bet: Wagner Seahawks -7.5 (-112).
