UMBC at Albany

In the America East tourney, UMBC is the #5 seed and face #4 seed Albany. Maryland-Baltimore County has good one-two punch with 6-6 senior Chase Plummer (10.5 ppg, 5 rpg) and freshman Rodney Elliot (14.9 ppg, 4 rpg) and this group doesn't back down from anyone: The Retrievers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning record. They are a big dog to Albany, the host team, but this Albany group shoots .435% as a team and ranks 304th in the nation in scoring (65.2 ppg). The two squads split a pair of thrilling contests this season, with Albany winning, 73-72, in double overtime and the Retrievers getting a last-second tip-in from Quentin Jones and triumphing, 71-69, on Feb. 12. This will be another close one, so grab the big dog. Play the points on UMBC.
