Wagner is in the midst of a seven-game road trip to start the season, a task made more difficult when its coach was suspended in September.The uphill journey continues for the Seahawks (0-4) on Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C., when they visit unbeaten Georgetown (4-0).Despite its record, Wagner has performed admirably. The Seahawks threw a scare into Seton Hall before falling 68-61 on Nov. 7. The last two losses were at Fordham by two points and at UMBC by one in overtime.The 71-70 setback Sunday at UMBC was particularly gut-wrenching as Wagner surrendered a 3-pointer at the buzzer.Interim coach Dwan McMillan took over barely a week before the season opener, replacing Donald Copeland, who was suspended as the school investigates allegations of player abuse.Copeland, who has a 46-45 record in three seasons, guided the Seahawks to the NCAA Tournament in 2024.Nick Jones is the top scorer for Wagner with 12.2 points per game, followed closely by Eddie Placer with 12.0 per game.”We’ve got 11 new guys, really competitive guys, just learning the way of the Wagner culture,” McMillan said.
