Men's #AEHoops Week 8: League Play Starts Saturday

BOSTON – Just nine non-conference games remain for men’s #AEHoops teams before conference play kicks off this weekend. Only three teams were in action last week as Bryant went 1-1, beating Worcester State and falling to High Point while Binghamton dropped a tight contest at Army and NJIT fell to Butler.

This week is highlighted by Vermont taking on Princeton in a matchup of perennial mid-major powerhouses.

Conference play kicks off with four games on Saturday, Jan. 3. UNH hosts Vermont, UAlbany heads to UMass Lowell, Maine entertains Bryant and NJIT visits Binghamton. Every game matters as the top four teams in the standings at the end of the regular season earn home court advantage the Air Force Reserve #AEPlayoffs.
