Basketball Meets America East Preseason Favorite Boston University at Agganis Arena


Boston, Mass. - UAlbany travels to America East Conference preseason favorite Boston University on Tuesday, Jan. 19. Tip-off is 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

Boston U. (9-9, AE 4-2) has the two of the top three scorers in the conference. John Holland, a first-team All-America East selection, leads the league in scoring at 19.2 points per game. He scored a season-high 32 against Hartford on Jan. 9. Corey Lowe, a 6'2" senior, also earned first-team all-conference honors last year. He averages 17.2 points and is second among the A-East leaders in assists (4.8 pg). Jake O'Brien, the 2009 America East Rookie of the Year, contributes 12.9 points and 6.4 rebounds. Patrick Chambers, who previously was Villanova's associate coach for five seasons, is in his first year as head coach.

UAlbany (6-13, AE 1-3) ended a three-game skid with last Saturday's come-from-behind win over UMBC at SEFCU Arena. Tim Ambrose had 17 of his 21 points in the second half. Logan Aronhalt, the conference rookie of the week, matched a career-best, by netting 13, his second consecutive game in twin figures. Will Harris (14.7 ppg) and Ambrose (14.4 ppg) are seventh and eighth, respectively, among the America East point-producers. UAlbany split last year's two-game set with the Terriers
