UMBC at Stony Brook

Maryland-Baltimore County plays in the America East tournament as a huge dog, but they have a strong backcourt and plenty of fight. Sophomore guard Jairus Lyles (23 points per game, 5.3 rebounds per game) is a handful and backcourt mate Rodney Elliott averaged 13.1 points per game and was one of the conference's top playmakers (3.5 assists per game). They topped Binghamton two games ago (80-79) and come off a loss at New Hampshire where they rallied from a 19-point deficit to make it close down the stretch. When they faced top-seeded Stony Brook earlier in the season, Maryland-Baltimore County rallied from a 17-point deficit to make if a three-point game midway through the second half. Stony Brook won 18 straight games from December through February, but is 1-2 since, so grab the competitive and giant dog. Take the points on Maryland-Baltimore County.
