SCOUTING BINGHAMTON<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Binghamton holds a 13-12 advantage in the America East series against the Great Danes, but has lost the last six meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Bearcats are just 2-8 on the road this season, and 0-2 away from home in league play. Binghamton\u2019s lone league win came against New Hampshire on Jan. 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Jordan Reed is averaging 11.3 points per game and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Bearcats so far this season on conference play. Yosef Yacob is averaging 13.0 points per game along with 3.5 assists per game against league opponents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 The Bearcats have a history of great rookie play. In his freshman season in 2012-13, Reed was named to the America East All-Rookie team and the All-Conference third team after tallying a program-record 13 double-doubles. He finished his rookie campaign ranked second in scoring average in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Yacob is quickly following in Reed\u2019s footsteps. He was named the league\u2019s Rookie of the Week on Jan. 13 after dishing out 12 assists against New Hampshire and tallying 22 points against UMass Lowell.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
