What to Know

An America East battle is on tap between the Albany Great Danes and the Maine Black Bears at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Memorial Gym(Maine). These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The New Hamp. Wildcats typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Albany proved too difficult a challenge. The Great Danes managed a 70-65 win over New Hamp.

Meanwhile, Maine came out on top in a nail-biter against the New Jersey Tech Highlanders on Sunday, sneaking past 65-61.

Albany is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 11-3 ATS in away games but only 14-13 all in all.

The wins brought Albany up to 12-15 and the Black Bears to 6-20. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Great Danes are sixth worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62.6 on average. Maine has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 348th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 61.8 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
