UNH (6-16, 4-6 AE) and Binghamton (5-19, 2-9 AE) are both coming off victories. The Wildcats became the first America East team to win at Stony Brook's Pritchard Gym in over three years as they hit 14 three-pointers en route to the win Saturday. The Bearcats upended Maine on the heels of Jordan Reed's 20-point, 16-rebound effort. Binghamton won the first meeting in January, its first in six get togethers with UNH.
Hartford (11-14, 5-5 AE) snapped a three-game losing skid with a win over Albany Saturday. The Hawks sank 14 three-pointers in the game. Maine (5-18, 3-8 AE) is coming off a loss at Binghamton, but has won two of its last four games. Hartford has won seven of the last eight in the series, including an 80-65 victory earlier this season.
Vermont (15-9, 9-1 AE) also hosts UMass Lowell (7-15, 6-5 AE) Wednesday in a matchup of teams that sit in first and third place, respectively, in the conference standings.
