Albany @ Stony Brook

Current Records: Albany 14-15; Stony Brook 16-14

What to Know

The Stony Brook Seawolves will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Stony Brook and the Albany Great Danes will face off in an America East battle at 6:31 p.m. ET Saturday at Island Federal Credit Union Arena. Albany will be strutting in after a win while the Seawolves will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The matchup between Stony Brook and the UMass Lowell River Hawks on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Stony Brook falling 67-50 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, Albany sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 72-68 victory over the Maine Black Bears on Wednesday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Stony Brook is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The Seawolves are now 16-14 while the Great Danes sit at 14-15. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Stony Brook is stumbling into the game with the 48th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 74.1 on average. Albany has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 10th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 63 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
