What to know:

• The Bearcats have won their last 11 and are carrying a full tank of gas going into mid March.  It's too bad they are driving a Vespa.
• Binghamton needs to learn how to share.  They are 263rd in the nation when it comes to dishing out assists.  It is not an assumption to say that in order to keep it close with the big boys, they will need to play together as a team.

Projection: Despite a decent overall record, the Bearcats are coming from arguably the worst conference in Division I basketball.  A #1 seed will be salivating at this 16 seed on Selection Sunday.
