- The Catamounts top the league standings at 13-2 and have run off 11-straight victories.
- UMass Lowell locked up its highest seed in program history (No. 2) last week.
- The River Hawks, who have won four in a row and seven of their last eight, have won a Division I school-record 24 games.
- Four teams remain alive to snag the last two home quarterfinal games. Binghamton, UNH and Bryant are all tied at 8-7 with UMBC a game back at 7-8
- Maine's 12 wins are its most since the 2012-13 season.
- The Black Bears’ Kellen Tynes’ 3.4 steals per game leads the country. His 94 steals on the season are the third-most in conference history and just eight shy of Speedy Claxton's all-time mark of 102.
