UMass Lowell and Bryant just met on Feb. 17 with the River Hawks winning by nine on the road. Lowell is 3-0 vs. Bryant dating back to last season winning all of those games by at least nine and scoring over 80 points each time. One reason for that is Bryant likes to play fast and they tend to commit a lot of fouls. Lowell ranks Top 30 in CBB in free throw attempts per game. In the first meeting the River Hawks shot 29 free throws and if that happens again on Thursday, Lowell should win easily. I make this line UMass Lowell -6 at home, so I'll grab the early 3.5.

I believe this gets north of -200 by tomorrow. UMass Lowell still has a shot at the America East title and won at Bryant by nine on Feb. 17, which started the team's current three-game winning streak. It's Senior Night and the home finale for the River Hawks. They are 29th in the nation averaging 81.3 points per game, the highest scoring average for any America East team since 1995-96 when Drexel averaged 82.6 ppg. UMass Lowell also plays some D as it ranks ninth in the nation in three-point percentage defense.
