Binghamton men's basketball secured a crucial 65-63 victory over New Hampshire, fueled by a strong second half featuring freshman Jake Blackburn’s key 3-pointers. With this win, the Bearcats improved their record to 7-23 (3-12 America East) and remain in contention for postseason play. Trailing by 10 at halftime, Binghamton rallied to outscore UNH 58% to 42% in the second half and has narrowed the gap in the standings. The Bearcats can clinch a playoff spot by winning their final regular season game against Maine and seeing Bryant lose twice.

By the Numbers
  • Binghamton shot 58% in the second half.
  • Jake Blackburn scored all 11 of his points during the second half.
  • Jeremiah Quigley contributed 17 points and 6 assists, leading the America East in assists.
Yes, But

Despite the win, the Bearcats faced challenges including limited player availability—only six healthy scholarship players were present, impacting their depth. They also allowed UNH 14 offensive rebounds, revealing areas for improvement.

State of Play
  • The Bearcats are on a slight upswing, with two wins in their last three games.
  • They are aiming for a playoff berth, sitting just one game behind UNH and Bryant in the standings.
What's Next

Binghamton's final regular season game is on Saturday against Maine. A win there combined with specific losses by Bryant would secure a postseason spot for the Bearcats.

Bottom Line

The Bearcats' recent victory highlights their resilience and potential to keep their season alive; however, they must address their rebounding issues and maintain consistency to truly compete for a playoff spot.
