Who's Playing
Princeton @ UMBC
Current Records: Princeton 0-2; UMBC 1-1
What to Know
The UMBC Retrievers may be playing at home again Monday, but the experts are forecasting a three-point defeat. They will take on the Princeton Tigers at 6 p.m. ET at Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena. UMBC should still be riding high after a big victory, while Princeton will be looking to right the ship.
Everything went the Retrievers' way against the Penn State York Nittany Lions this past Thursday as they made off with a 92-65 win.
Meanwhile, the Tigers were just a bucket short of a win this past Friday and fell 74-73 to the Navy Midshipmen.
UMBC's win brought them up to 1-1 while Princeton's loss pulled them down to 0-2. A couple last-season stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: UMBC is stumbling into the game with the 355th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11.5 on average. Princeton is 11th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.6 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
