BOSTON – The 2021-22 college basketball season is underway and a few #AEHoops men’s basketball teams are off to fast starts.

Looking Back

  • UMass Lowell is off to its first 2-0 start at the Division I level (since 2013-14).
  • The River Hawks knocked off perennial Atlantic 10 contender Dayton on Saturday, 59-58, behind a game-high 21 points from Justin Faison.
  • The Flyers were 27-3 in their last 30 home games.
  • Vermont went to Northern Iowa and posted a wire-to-wire 71-57 win on Thursday. The Panthers were picked third in the Missouri Valley Conference.
  • Levell Sanders earned his first win as a collegiate head coach on Sunday as Binghamton won at Sacred Heart, 72-60. Kellen Amos scored 26 points off the bench to lead the Bearcats.
  • Dylan O’Hearn scored a game-high 23 points to lead NJIT to a 73-56 win at Lehigh on Saturday.
  • New Hampshire and Maine also won games last week against Division III opponents.

The Week Ahead

  • Nineteen more games take place this week.
  • Three teams (UMBC, Vermont, Hartford) host home openers this week.
  • Prior to its game vs. Boston University on Thursday, Hartford will raise its 2021-22 America East championship banner to the roster.
  • Fresh off of its win at Lehigh, NJIT faces in-state foe, Rutgers, on Tuesday. The Scarlet Knights reached the Sweet Sixteen last season.
