New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings on our nine campuses and provide links to previews, recaps, features and exclusive coverage.

It’s the second full week of conference hoops action which means the America East television schedule is creeping closer and closer.

In fact, we have two nationally broadcasted games this weekend – one on ESPN3 and the other on the CBS Sports Network. It is okay to be excited.

On Saturday, we have a rematch of the 2011 championship game as Stony Brook makes its way to Boston to take on the Terriers. It is the first meeting between the two teams since Boston U. took home the conference championship last March. Stony Brook sits atop the standings right now as one of only two unbeaten teams left in league play (3-0) while Boston U. picked up its first league win on Sunday against Binghamton. ESPN3 has Saturday’s game starting at 12 p.m. 

And we’ll stay in Boston on Martin Luther King Day for another doozy of a matchup. Albany makes the trek on I-90 East for a CBS Sports Network date with the Terriers on Monday night. The high-powered Danes offense will look to torch the nets while Darryl Partin and company try to hold court at ‘The Roof.’ That’s a 7 p.m. game with Don Criqui and Wally Szczerbiak on the call.

Keep an eye out on the AExtra blog later this week for a preview of both games and take a look at the Boston U.-Stony Brook promotional video.
