BINGHAMTON Upsets Vt. 57-53. Does this mean UMaine has a chance in AE Tourney?

BINGHAMTON won its first game of the season tonight upsetting Vermont at Binghamton 57-73. It was also their first conference win as they go 1-13 in the conference and 1-26 overall.

Currently Vermont is in second place a half-game ahead of BU and UMaine is currently in 7th place  one full game behind UNH who they play on Wednesday for 6th or 7th place. Maine finishes up this weekend at Stonybrook.

For all the naysayers on MBR that think UMaine will be one and done in the AE Conference Tourney in the quarter-finals, this might give them a little hope. Anything can happen in a basketball contest that is why we play the games.l. Upsets happen all the time and BINGHAMTON CERTAINLY PROVED IT TONIGHT
