UMass-Lowell (7-1) at Sacred Heart (5-3) – 2:00 PM ET (NECFrontRow.com)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day features a matchup of southern New England teams as the Riverhawks of UMass-Lowell visit the Pioneers of Sacred Heart. SHU comes in as the team favored to win the NEC Tournament this year; they are currently on a 2-game winning streak after getting a 66-61 win at New Hampshire earlier in the week. Nico Galette led the Pioneers with 17 points and 4 steals against New Hampshire.
Both teams already met earlier this season up in Lowell; the Riverhawks won the first matchup 90-81. That game started a 5-game winning streak for UML; their last win was against next-door neighbor Merrimack by a 77-51 margin; Max Brooks had 17 points in that game. The Riverhawks average margin of victory in their winning streak is 15 points against the 4 D1 opponents in that winning streak (and 22 points if you throw in a 52-pt blowout win against a non-D1 opponent mixed in the streak).
