Under the Radar Game of the Day – Thursday, February 29th

Bryant (17-11, 9-4) at UMass-Lowell (19-7, 10-3) – 6:30 PM ET (ESPN+)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day heads to Lowell, Massachusetts for a matchup between the Bryant Bulldogs and the UMass-Lowell River Hawks. While Vermont has all but wrapped up the regular season title in the America East, Lowell is fighting to hold on to second place in the conference and subsequent home-court advantage for the first two rounds of the America East conference tournament. The River Hawks will also have a quick turnaround and travel to Vermont in their next game on Saturday afternoon. Ayinde Hikim leads the River Hawks with 15.3 points a game and 5.3 assists per game.

Likewise, a win tonight for Bryant will help to put them back in a tie for second place in the conference; should they lose tonight they would lose the tiebreaker to the River Hawks by virtue of being swept in the regular season. They also host NJIT and Albany to finish the year – at first glance it would appear to be an easy schedule, but they did lose at NJIT earlier this month. Sherif Gross-Bullock averages 18.7 points a game for the Bulldogs.
