Binghamton vs UMBC Prediction 

UMBC comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they have allowed 65 points or fewer in four of their last five. The Retrievers are shooting 47% from the field and they are 6-2 in conference play. Binghamton got their first conference win in their last game, but they have scored 63 points or fewer in four of their last five games. I think points are going to be at a premium here, so I am going with the under in this one.
