  • Maine

    (11-16, 5-9 Am. East)


  • Binghamton

    (12-15, 8-6 Am. East)

  • Previous meeting was a 78-57 home win for Maine

  • For Maine it's a chance to build some momentum heading into the playoffs and a chance to stay ahead of NJOT for seeding. For Binghamton it is must win time if they want to claim a home playoff game. They can't afford to be dropping games to the bottom half of the conference.

  • Vermont

    (18-10, 12-2 Am. East)


  • Bryant

    (17-10, 8-6 Am. East)

  • Previous meeting was a UVM home win 74-64

  • For Bryant it's a shot at some redemption after a hideous turnover filled performance on national TV. Obviously there are plenty of seeding implications for the Bulldogs as well since they can finish anywhere from 2nd to 6th depending on how the tiebreaks fall. For Vermont there are no seeding implications. There is the benefit of tweaking Jared Grasso's nose one more time. I expect Vermont to come out and half ass it since that's what they've done the last two games and now with the one seed locked up, they'll probably lose by double digits.

  • New Hampshire

    (13-13, 8-6 Am. East)


  • UMass Lowell

    (23-7, 10-5 Am. East)

  • Previous meeting was a UNH home win 69-65

  • For UML it's the final day of the regular season, senior day, and a chance to lock up the 2 seed and 2 playoff home games. For UNH it's a chance to grab ahold of a home playoff game with both hands. A win here will almost certainly give them the edge in any tiebreak scenario.

  • NJIT

    (7-20, 4-10 Am. East)


  • Albany

    (7-22, 2-12 Am. East)

  • Previous meeting was a NJOT home win 74-67

  • Awww Yesssss...And the primetime game is AE Playoffception. The Playoff game to get a Playoff game. How could this get any more high stakes. For Albany it's win or your fat lady has sung. For NJOT it's win and your in with the possibility of passing Maine in the seeding and avoiding that long trip to Burlington.

Off topic, I didn't realize UConn's Donovan Clingan was the son of the late Stacey Porrini, UMaine '97, 1,000 point scorer and three time all-conference player.

I think you could fairly call Maine "out of sorts" defensively early
Did the cameraman leave his tripod or whatever at home? I'm getting seasick.
Maine-Binghamton women in the last minute for your halftime viewing. Maine up 5.
I can't wait for the Maine men to get the atmosphere at the Pit that the Maine women do. That place gets f'ing loud.

Maine women beat Binghamton 69-65. Adrianna Smith 31 and 19. That will be the 3/6 back in Orono.

Maine's 3pt shooting is the pits.
Imagine this team if Tynes and Clayton were shooters. Although, I suppose if they were shooters they wouldn't be at Maine.

Tynes bailed out by Falko's miss - horrendous foul.
I actually didn't hate it. Maine plays defense by getting steals. They aren't great when the other team gets running downhill into the lane.
That and-1 is why I didn't hate Tynes going for a steal.
That's a game that Maine loses by 25 at any point in the last 8 years.

Giving Brooks from Lowell a T there is embarrassingly bad officiating.

I know we all watch through the lenses of our own teams, but hard to square the world beaters that UNH looked like against Maine twice with that egg they just layed.
Hey thanks Albany, this means Maine can't go to Burlington!

So, IF Maine beats Bryant and Binghamton beats UMBC, Maine has the tiebreaker over UMBC by virtue of a better record against Lowell and would finish 6th and UMBC 7th.
