AMERICA EAST MEN'S BASKETBALL

"Hey, it's not like they're beating top-10 teams, but the little-known and little-appreciated America East is chalking up guarantee-game wins this season.

"[America East] is doing something most leagues at the lower level don't: win on the road. Vermont won at Boston College (ACC), Stony Brook won at Penn State (Big Ten) and Colgate (Patriot), Binghamton won at Niagara (MAAC), Boston University won at Harvard (Ivy), Maryland-Baltimore County won at Hampton (MEAC), Maine won at St. Francis (N.Y.) (Northeast). Albany's two wins came at home, but of the league's 10 wins through Sunday, eight were away from home."

"So New England hoops fans will have a treat these next few years: watching these two terrific guards from Maine, Junior Bernal and Carlos Strong. It will be less of a treat for opposing America East coaches."
