Top Guns Square Off Tonight

Two of the top scorers in America East look to lead their teams to a quarter-final round playoff victory tonight (Wednesday) as the Binghamton Bearcats travel to Lundholm Gymnasium to meet the New Hamsphire Wildcats in men's basketball.  Binghamton's Willie Rodriguez, averaging 15 points per game will duel with New Hampshire's Tanner Leissner, notching 15.6 points per contest.  Leissner is third in scoring in America East while Rodriguez is fourth.

In Durham in January in a New Hampshire 58-43 decision Rodriguez outscored Leissner 20-9.  In the Events Center last month the Wildcats took a 59-55 contest.  In that one Leissner won the battle 21-10.  Rodriguez got into early foul trouble and played only 19 minutes.

Both teams will look for supplemental help to secure a win in the opening playoff round. The winner will advance to the semi-finals on Monday night.
