What to Know

The Albany Great Danes are 10-2 against the Binghamton Bearcats since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. The Great Danes and Binghamton will face off in an America East battle at 7 p.m. ET at McDonough Sports Complex. The teams split their matchups last year, with Binghamton winning the first 88-79 on the road and Albany taking the second 68-67.

Albany came up short against the New Jersey Tech Highlanders on Saturday, falling 74-67.

Meanwhile, Binghamton escaped with a win on Saturday against the UMass Lowell River Hawks by the margin of a single free throw, 66-65.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Albany is expected to win a tight contest. Now might not be the best time to take the Great Danes against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Binghamton's victory lifted them to 7-10 while Albany's loss dropped them down to 6-14. We'll see if the Bearcats can repeat their recent success or if Albany bounces back and reverse their fortune.
