BU Men Look to Topple UMBC at Events Center

The Binghamton Bearcats play their second America East conference game tonight (Wednesday) at 7:00 PM at the Events Center when they host the UMBC Retrievers. Both teams dropped their conference openers and are 0-1 entering tonight's contest.  Overall Binghamton is 6-8 while UMBC is 7-9. The Bearcats are coming off of a 74-62 loss to the Albany Great Danes while the Retrievers fell 86-73 in overtime to UMass Lowell.

This is the 24th all-time meeting between the two teams with UMBC holding an 18-15 advantage. Last season the Retrievers won both meetings.  Binghamton defeated UMBC in the 2009 America East Championship game played at the Events Center.  Binghamton earned a trip to the NCAA Tournament with that victory.  Duke defeated the Bearcats at Greensboro, North Carolina in the first round of that event.
