The number one seed for the America East Championship could be decided today. Or perhaps not.
Boston University (20-6, 13-0 AE) will play host to Albany (18-9, 12-2 AE) this afternoon at Case Gym in a first-place game. With a win, the Terriers would clinch the number one seed and the Regular Season Championship, but should the Great Danes win, Albany will sit just half a game back with hopes for the program's first-ever America East Regular Season Championship still alive.
The Terriers won the first meeting in Albany this season 58-54. The Great Danes outshot and outrebounded the Terriers in that meeting, but Boston U. hit more free throws down the stretch and limited its turnovers to outscore Albany in the second half 35-26. Mo Moran led Boston U. with 17 points and five assists, while Albany's Ebone Henry registered a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double.
Stony Brook will host New Hampshire (13-12, 6-7 AE) in the only other game of the day. The Wildcats, who won 63-53 earlier this season against the Seawolves, are trying to get back up to .500 in league play, while Stony Brook (4-22, 1-12 AE) would like to start building some momentum with just three games until the conference tournament.
