Preview: Binghamton Bearcats at Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers CATONSVILLE, Md. (Interstat) — The Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers look to solidify their standing in the America East Conference on Thursday when they host the struggling Binghamton Bearcats at the Retriever Activities Center. UMBC (13-8, 5-3 America East) enters the matchup in strong form, having won five of its last seven games, including a 68-65 road victory at Albany on Saturday. The Retrievers boast a balanced attack, but guard DJ Armstrong has been a consistent force. He is averaging 13.6 points over his last seven contests and scored 10 points with four rebounds in UMBC’s 78-60 win at Binghamton just over two weeks ago. That Jan. 19 meeting saw the Retrievers dominate the Bearcats, holding them to 32.8% shooting from the field. UMBC has been strong at home this season, going 8-2 in Catonsville. Binghamton (5-18, 2-6) arrives with momentum from snapping a seven-game losing streak, edging Bryant 63-60 on Jan. 29. The Bearcats’ fortunes hinge heavily on the performance of guard Jeremiah Quigley. He erupted for 21 points and eight assists in the win over Bryant, part of a recent stretch where he has logged heavy minutes and filled the stat sheet. However, Quigley was held to just four points in the previous loss to UMBC. The Bearcats have struggled with consistency, particularly on the road where they are 1-11. Their last three road games include a triple-overtime loss at New Hampshire and a 16-point defeat at Maine. For UMBC, a victory would keep pace in the upper tier of the conference standings. For Binghamton, it represents a chance for redemption and to build on its most recent win. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST. Up Next: Binghamton visits NJIT on Saturday. UMBC travels to face Maine next Thursday.
