    UMBC (5-4) and American (4-5), a pair of teams that drew national attention for each earning their first NCAA Tournament bids last season, reconvene at the RAC Arena on Saturday, Dec. 20. The two squads had not met since the 1987-88 before the Retrievers won an 83-68 decision in Washington, D.C. last year.

    The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) will air the game live with Scott Garceau and Troy Green on the call. The game can be heard on the new FOX1370 Sports Radio (www.fox1370.com) with  Paul Mittermeier handling the broadcast.
