Smithfield, RI - The Wagner men's basketball team looks to complete the season sweep of the Bryant University Bulldogs this afternoon at the Chace Athletic Center. 

These two teams last met back on January 7 on Staten Island as the Seahawks were victorious, 65-56, in front of a jam-packed 2,023 fans, in which the contest was on CBS Sports Network. 

The Green & White will look to bounce back after suffering an 82-69 setback at LIU Brooklyn on Thursday evening despite having three players score in double-figures, led by junior guard Michael Carey's (Nassau, Bahamas/Lamar Consolidated [San Jacinto College]) tenth double-double of the season.

Bryant is looking to snap an eight-game losing streak after falling to first-place Fairleigh Dickinson, 91-77, Thursday at home despite a game-high 25 points from Nisre Zouzoua.
