What to Know

Get ready for an America East battle as the UMass Lowell River Hawks and the New Jersey Tech Highlanders will face off at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Wellness and Events Center. UMass Lowell will be strutting in after a victory while New Jersey Tech will be stumbling in from a defeat.

While not quite a landslide, the matchup between the River Hawks and the UMBC Retrievers this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as UMass Lowell wrapped it up with an 88-71 win at home.

Meanwhile, the contest between New Jersey Tech and the Hartford Hawks this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with New Jersey Tech falling 65-49 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

Barring any buzzer beaters, UMass Lowell is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

UMass Lowell was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap in the teams' previous meeting in January as they fell 77-72 to New Jersey Tech. Can UMass Lowell avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
