HAMDEN, Conn. (Interstat) — A struggling Rider team seeks its first road win and a reversal of fortune when it visits Quinnipiac in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference men’s basketball matchup Sunday at TD Bank Sports Center. The Broncs (1-6) enter on a five-game skid, including a narrow 68-66 loss at Merrimack on Thursday. Rider’s lone victory came in its home opener against Eastern on Nov. 15. The Bobcats (5-3), meanwhile, have found rhythm after a tough opening loss to Yale, winning four of their last five, including a 76-62 victory over Stonehill last Sunday. Rider’s hopes will lean heavily on guard Flash Burton. The standout scored 21 points in the team’s only win but has been inconsistent during the losing streak, managing 11 points at Merrimack after a 16-point effort at Texas. Containing Quinnipiac’s Amarri Monroe will be a primary challenge. The forward is coming off an 18-point, 7-rebound performance and has been a force, averaging 18.3 points and 6.3 rebounds over his last three games. The Bobcats boast a more balanced and potent offense, evidenced by a 112-point outing against CCNY and an 83-75 road win at Pittsburgh. Rider has struggled offensively against high-major opponents, scoring 53 and 45 points in losses to Virginia and Houston, respectively. This game opens the MAAC schedule for both teams. For Quinnipiac, it’s a chance to build momentum at home before a brief non-conference pause. For Rider, it represents an urgent opportunity to reset its season against a league foe before a quick turnaround against Bucknell on Tuesday. The Broncs won both meetings last season, but the teams’ trajectories appear reversed this December. Tip-off is set for Sunday afternoon.
