New Jersey Tech @ Maine

Current Records: New Jersey Tech 11-13; Maine 5-20

What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the New Jersey Tech Highlanders will be on the road. New Jersey Tech and the Maine Black Bears will face off in an America East battle at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Memorial Gym(Maine). The Highlanders will be strutting in after a win while Maine will be stumbling in from a defeat.

It was a close one, but this past Wednesday New Jersey Tech sidestepped the UMass Lowell River Hawks for a 59-55 victory.

Meanwhile, Maine came up short against the Hartford Hawks this past Wednesday, falling 75-65.

Barring any buzzer beaters, New Jersey Tech is expected to win a tight contest. 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 9-2 ATS in away games but only 13-10 all in all.

The Highlanders' win brought them up to 11-13 while the Black Bears' loss pulled them down to 5-20. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: New Jersey Tech is 12th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 63.4 on average. Maines have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the contest with the fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 61.7 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
