Stony Brook travels to Orono in search of an upset away while Maine looks for its third (or fourth with a win tomorrow tonight) win in league play. After this game, SB will have played UVM, Albany, Boston, Maine so far four of the top 5 teams.

Stony Brook is not a good team away from home and with that in mind I thought it would be an upset. all of of you so far think otherwise so I guess i'm just wrong...
I still think Maines starting 5 is very talented, I'm going with Maine by 4 as well. Outside of BU, no other contender has won on the road against the other 4.

Maine is in a free fall...they are like a caged animal, how much pride do they have. They will either completely roll over and die or come out swinging...should be interesting. What do they have to lose at this point? Dangerous team...
Did not see the Hartford loss coming. Maine can play the spoiler now though. That being said, it will come after the SBU game- no way I see them beating SBU in their current form.
Not to mention only one off day before game day...no time to pick up the pieces. Man, what has happened to them, I can't make sense...is this real life? Shades of last year...
i am really nervous about this game. Maine is supposidly talented enough to be the best team in the league. so i guess it really depend on which team shows up today. After hartford and a four game losing streak you would think maine would eventually right the ship. SBU on the road hasnt been to good.
IF the SBU bench plays like they have aginst UVM, UMBC, UNH, and Albany SBU wins by 8 if they play like they did against BU and Binghamton lose by 4. Its all about the bench!
If Woodward would remain on the bench as a spectator and let Leichner coach, then Maine might make a better effort and showing against Stony Brook. But, we all know that won't happen. What few Maine fans are left are tired, beaten and worn out of Woodward's inability to put his team in a position to win let alone compete!
I've seen enough conference play where overall Stony Brook is the best team in the conference right now.
This is not the team that Maine needs to play in a bounce back situation.
Even average defensive teams have figured out to stop Maine's offense and their limited number of plays. Just double up on Fraser down low and keep the Black Bears dribbling the ball. If you get back on defense and eliminate the transition game, Maine is toast.
Trying to stay out of foul trouble, Fraser has gone soft on defense and as a team, Maine doesn't box out and get rebounds. They also don't defend the perimeter.
If this were Binghamton or UMBC, I might like Maine's chances more, but this is Stony Brook catching Maine at the perfect time. I'd say the Seawolves in this one by more than twenty.
