The oddsmakers set the bar high, but Albany and the Retrievers didn't disappoint and broke past the 170.5 point over/under on Saturday. The Great Danes fell 114-102 to the Retrievers. Having run the score up that high, both teams probably have some extra defensive drills coming up.

Thursday's matchup is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Albany have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.9 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Binghamton struggles in that department as they've been averaging 38.3 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
