6-7/220 fr F Andrew Fleming 10.0 ppg, 6.4 rpg, .494 FG%

6-8/220 fr F Vincent Eze 5.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg
6-0/185 so G Ryan Bernstein 4.1 ppg, 3.1 apg

Our guys get a few days of rest here, and on the other end of it, hopefully an easy-breezy win over a hapless opponent.

Maine's lost 20 games this season, and 18 of those losses have come by double digits. All nine conference losses have been by double digits. There have been a lot of 11s and 12s in there and they do have two wins to their credit – home to UMass Lowell and Hartford – but still, that's a tough track record.

Maine played the last game against us without Fleming, who sat with an ankle injury. He's since returned and been a nice second option behind Myers. Fleming's replacement for that game – Eze – may be an interesting one as only a freshman. He had 12 and 11 in 32 minutes against us – his only double double of the season – but he has seen a recent uptick in minutes and production, scoring a career-high 15 against UMBC last week.

Myers has been their steadiest threat all year, although it's strange. In their two wins, he had 31 in one and just 5 in the other. Myers – who transferred in from Niagara – still feels like the only one we really have to gameplan for, and with Nyama's and Saintel's athleticism, I feel pretty good.

It should be noted that Maine beat Hartford 52-41, with UH shooting a truly incredible 21 percent from the field. Dunne went 0 for 14, Ross 2 for 15. 0 for 14! I wonder how much of that is defense and how much of that is just plain woeful shooting. Guessing it's more the latter.

It's dangerous to assume anything, but I think we're too physical and athletic to drop this one. But still need a strong effort.

I think we beat Maine easily  just need to be careful. Protect the ball . I could aee us actually having 20 wins this season including play off games in the AE Tournament. It can happen

I guess we'll no for sure at the next home game, if he is sitting on the bench or not.. I thought he was a walk on, not on scholarship..If this is true, i'd imagine he will no longer be on the team. Does this mean coach Boals has an open slot to fill??

Get him off the team- he's a walk-on but zero tolerance for even putting yourself in this situation.

Coach Boals must be going through his list of late signees

Geez. UNH @ UVM on ESPNU tonight. That's a nice setup for them.

And a rare line on the game! UVM -12.5. Give me UNH in that one.

Does anyone know why Vegas doesn't do odds for AE games?

Incredible. Two-game lead for us. And UNH up double digits early in Burlington! Big one Sunday with UVM going to BC.

Arena 10 mins from my house on a good day, but will start the trek way early today. Snow piling up right now and no plows in sight on a Sunday. Hope the local fan base travels safely and gets to the game...maybe cast some nets into the dorms and round up students to fill in as needed??? Careful out there and go SBU!
