What to Know

Albany and the River Hawks are an even 5-5 against one another since February of 2019, but not for long. Both teams will face off in an America East battle at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Costello Athletic Center. Albany is no doubt hoping to put an end to a three-game streak of away losses.

Last Thursday, the Great Danes came up short against the Catamounts and fell 94-80. Albany has struggled against the Catamounts recently, as their match on Thursday was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.

Meanwhile, the River Hawks earned a 87-80 win over the Bearcats on Thursday. The win made it back-to-back wins for UMass Lowell.

The Great Danes have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-15 record this season. As for the River Hawks, they have been performing well recently as they've won 11 of their last 14 games, which provided a nice bump to their 18-7 record this season.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Albany have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.3 rebounds per game. However, it's not like UMass Lowell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 39.8 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
