VESTAL, N.Y. (Interstat) — Rider will visit Binghamton in a men’s NCAA Division I basketball game Sunday at Binghamton University Events Center in Vestal, N.Y. The Broncs enter with a 0-2 record, while the Bearcats are 1-1. Binghamton will attempt to improve to 2-1 overall.

Rider is seeking its first victory of the season after a 66-55 home loss to New Hampshire in its most recent game. Rich Brisco was a bright spot for the Broncs, finishing with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Brisco also had five points and one rebound in Rider’s earlier 95-57 road loss at Pittsburgh. Khalil Farmer added 12 points and four rebounds in the New Hampshire game, and Bryce Baker contributed eight points and four rebounds. Rider will look to Brisco for production in the paint and on the glass as it tries to keep pace with Binghamton.

Binghamton enters after a 58-55 road win at Saint Peter’s in its most recent game. Jeremiah Quigley led the Bearcats with 28 points and three assists in that victory. He also had nine points and three assists in Binghamton’s earlier 86-60 loss at Northwestern. Demetrius Lilley added 11 points and 14 rebounds against Saint Peter’s, giving the Bearcats a strong inside presence. Bobby Montgomery chipped in four points, three rebounds and two assists.

Quigley will be a central figure for Binghamton on the perimeter, while Rider will need to account for Lilley around the basket. The Bearcats’ 1-1 start includes a competitive road win, and they will try to use home-court advantage against a Rider team still searching for consistency on both ends. The Broncs have opened with two losses but have shown some individual production, particularly from Brisco and Farmer. Binghamton’s win at Saint Peter’s marked a strong response after its season-opening road loss.

Rider will host Wm. Paterson next before road games at Villanova and Miami (FL). The Broncs also have home games against Navy and Loyola Maryland ahead. Binghamton will visit Misericordia next before traveling to Duquesne and Lafayette. The Bearcats also have home games against Army and Alfred St. on their upcoming schedule. Both teams are in the early stages of the season, and the matchup offers a chance for Rider to break through and for Binghamton to build on its recent result.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Binghamton 67, Rider 64. Interstat’s ELO system gives Binghamton a 70.6 percent probability to win. Binghamton has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -7.5.
