UMBC

The men's basketball team faces its final "fresh face" of the season when they welcome the New Hampshire Wildcats to the RAC Arena in an America East Conference game on Thursday evening (7:00 p.m., WVIE-AM, www.v1370.com) The Wildcats (8-12, 4-3), winners of three straight, swept the Retrievers last year and have won all three meetings contested at the RAC Arena. They are the lone AEC team to be unscathed at the RAC Arena. UMBC (7-13, 3-4) will play three of its next four games at home, where they snapped a four-game slide with last Thursday's win over Hartford.
