Just two weeks remain in the America East men's basketball regular season after a weekend that saw Albany and Boston earn convincing road wins and Maine tough out a road victory.
On Sunday, Boston U. (15-11, 9-4 AE) made its first eight shots and jumped out to a 19-6 lead on New Hampshire (7-17, 3-9 AE) and held on for a 68-56 win, its fourth straight and seventh in its last eight games. The win moved Boston U. into a tie for second place with Vermont in the league standings. Maurice Watson, Jr. led four Terriers in double figures with 13 points and added 10 rebounds for his first double-double. Chandler Rhoads had 11 points to lead UNH.
On Saturday, the Great Danes (19-8, 8-5 AE) moved into sole possession of third place in the league standings with a convincing 75-49 win over Hartford (14-12, 7-6 AE).

Jacob Iati led Albany with 18 points, while Mark Nwakamma paced Hartford with 12.
Also Saturday, the Black Bears (11-15, 6-7 AE) picked up their third straight win, a 64-60 victory at Binghamton (3-23, 1-12 AE).
