UMBC (8-2, 4-1) at New Hampshire (4-4, 3-2) – 12:00 PM EST (ESPN3)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day is a noon matinee between a pair of America East contenders with the UMBC Retrievers visiting the New Hampshire Wildcats. In yesterday’s game between the two teams, UMBC won their fifth straight road game 69-54 with LJ Owens hitting 4-of-6 3-pointers and a game-high 117 points. Only a head-scratching loss to bottom-feeder Binghamton is keeping UMBC from a perfect league record thus far.
Prior to yesterday, New Hampshire had started off league play with a sweep of the Hartford Hawks. Their last series on the road was a split at Maine, and after today will hit the road again to take on league leader Stony Brook. Jayden Martinez is averaging just under 14 points a game for the Wildcats.
