A classic American East rematch between the UMass Lowell River Hawks and the Maine Black Bears. In their first meeting on January 23, the Black Bears won outright at UMass Lowell, 88-85, in overtime. Now, Maine is a short favorite at home and should once again come out on top later this evening.
Maine is significantly better in its home gym than on the road, much like UMass Lowell, which ranks as the 20th worst road team, per Haslametrics. The Black Bears are one of the best teams in the American East, ranking top three at home in nearly every major statistical category. Most notably at home, they lead the conference in turnover defense, free throw rate offense, three-point percentage, and assist rate offense. Maine should be able to exploit UMass Lowell's porous perimeter defense, which ranks ninth in the conference in road games.
The River Hawks have struggled on both ends away from home, particularly on defense. They have the 22nd worst road defense in the country, do not force turnovers, and fail to rebound effectively on either end. Offensively, they struggle from beyond the arc and get their shots blocked at a high rate.
On top of that, UMass Lowell is coming off a strong shooting performance against Binghamton on Saturday, hitting 61.1% from the field and 42.9% from three in a dominant 79-53 home win. However, after a victory this season, the River Hawks are just 4-10-1 against the spread. As an away underdog, they are 1-5 straight up.
The Black Bears should be locked in after a tough loss to Bryant on Saturday. With Senior Night on deck, expect Maine to show up and show out.
