A pair of America East men's basketball teams will be at home on Tuesday as Hartford and Binghamton both host games.
The Hawks will welcome instate-rival Quinnipiac to Chase Arena for a 7 p.m. contest. The game will be televised in Connecticut on CPTV Sports. Hartford is looking to snap its season-long eight game losing skid. The young Hawks have relied heavily on freshmen so far in 2011-12. First-year players make up six of Hartford's top eight scoring leaders and are contributing over 70 percent of the scoring through eight games.
The Bearcats also hope to get in the win column for the first time as they host Bucknell at 7 p.m. at the Events Center. Binghamton is also young, just one of nine teams in the country without a senior on its roster. First-year players comprise three of team's top four scoring leaders and have paced Binghamton in points in five of its six games this season.
In the only game of the day Monday, Albany built a 19-point advantage on crosstown-rival Siena in the annual Albany Cup game, but was outscored 52-29 over the game's final 26 minutes and fell to the Saints, 64-60. Mike Black led the Great Danes with 18 points and hit 4-of-7 three pointers.
