BALTIMORE-- The two hottest teams in America East will square off on Sunday when Boston University travels to UMBC for a 4 p.m. contest that will be televised in both markets.
The game
will be aired on MASN in the Mid-Atlantic region and on WSBK in the Boston area. The matchup will also be available on
ESPN's Full Court package and be streamed online in the America East
Zone at AmericaEast.com. Eric Frede (play-by-play) and Frank Sullivan
(color) will have the call. The game is part of a comprehensive television package to be produced by
America East and distributed to regional sports networks.
The Terriers (10-14, America East 7-5) are playing well at the right time, having won five straight since starting just 2-5 in league play. The Terriers have risen to fourth-place in the conference standings and can position themselves for a high seed in the upcoming America East Championship with a win.
The Retrievers (17-7, America East 9-2) have also won five straight and sit on top of the league standings. UMBC holds a two-game league over second-place Hartford and can solidify its chances at the top seed in the conference tournament, which will take place March 7-9 at Binghamton University's Events Center. The championship game will be on March 15 at the highest remaining seed.
