Bryant University Bulldogs Open Up NEC Play On Thursday Afternoon As They Host The Saint Francis University Red Flash
The Bryant University Bulldogs will host the Saint Francis Red Flash on Thursday afternoon at the Chace Athletic Center. Right now, these two teams are two of the three teams in the NEC with at least 7 wins on the season.
So far on the season, these two teams have really had a similar breakdown on their schedule. They both have wins over an Atlantic 10 opponent as the Red Flash beat Saint Joseph’s. Both teams have the same amount of wins at home as they do on the road. Also, both teams have lost by 14 points in their lone games against ranked opponents as the Red Flash lost by 14 against number 25 VCU in their season opener.
The Red Flash lead the all time series against Bryant with a 12-9 advantage. That includes winning 2 of their 3 match ups last season. The final game last season between the two teams came in the NEC tournament quarter finals.
Keith Braxton leads the Red Flash in scoring so far this season at 16.5 points per game. That is good for fourth in the NEC as a whole. He’s also ninth in rebounding in the NEC at 7.2 rebounds per game. Keeping Braxton in check will be key for the Bulldogs in this one.
The game will begin at 4:00pm. Fans can watch the game live on NEC front row.
