What to Know

Get ready for an America East battle as the Albany Great Danes and the UMBC Retrievers will face off at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at McDonough Sports Complex. UMBC will be strutting in after a victory while Albany will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Great Danes ended up a good deal behind the Binghamton Bearcats when they played this past Saturday, losing 80-66.

Meanwhile, the Bryant Bulldogs typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday UMBC proved too difficult a challenge. UMBC sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 76-73 win.

Albany is expected to lose this next one by 7. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past nine games, so buyers beware.
