Ronnie Drinnon (Jamestown, Ohio/Greenview) led the way for the Flash with his third double-double of the season, finishing with 11 points and 16 rebounds. That matches his total number of double-doubles from last season. Ben Millaud-Meunier (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier) led the team with 16 points for his sixth double-digit scoring effort in the team's first nine games. He had five double-digit scoring games all of last season. Saint Francis made just four three pointers in the game but used a 34-18 advantage in points in the paint to defeat the Bearcats. 

A win on Saturday would be the second straight year of back-to-back road non-conference wins for SFU. Saint Francis defeated Duquesne and Rutgers on the road last season for the program's first back-to-back road non-conference wins since the 2008-09 season.

NOTES FROM BINGHAMTON

• This was the first meeting between the two schools.
• Ronnie Drinnon (Jamestown, Ohio/Greenview) posted his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 16 rebounds, matching his double-double total from all of last season.
• The four made three pointers are the fewest for the Red Flash in a win since hitting three in a 74-71 victory against Quinnipiac on Jan. 14, 2012.
• Ben Millaud-Meunier (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier) recorded his sixth double-digit scoring game with a team-high 16 points.

DRINNON CLEANS THE GLASS

Senior forward Ronnie Drinnon (Jamestown, Ohio/Greenview) is no stranger to recording double-digit rebound totals. His 16 rebounds in Tuesday's win at Binghamton is his 37th career game with 10 or more rebounds. He surpassed his previous season-high of 13 at UMES on Nov. 27 and came just two rebounds shy of tying his career high of 18. That came in the Flash's NEC Tournament quarterfinal victory at Bryant in 2013-14. At one point early in the second half of Tuesday's game, Drinnon had as many rebounds (13) as the entire Binghamton roster. 

SPREADING SOME CHEER

The Red Flash posted its fifth game with double-digit assists this season at Binghamton, posting 14 assists. SFU is fourth in the NEC in assists per game, averaging 12 per game. SFU is also third in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio. Malik Harmon (Queens, N.Y./Christ the King) is second in the NEC in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.93 assists to turnovers per game.

SENIOR SCORING LEADERS

In eight of the Flash's nine games this season, it's been either senior Greg Brown (Odenton, Md./Archbishop Spalding) or senior Ben Millaud-Meunier (Montreal, Quebec/Vanier) leading the team in scoring. Millaud-Meunier scored 16 points to lead SFU at Binghamton for his sixth double-digit scoring game of the season. It was also his sixth game as the team's leading scorer. Brown was the leading scorer at Kent State and against Duquesne. The lone exception was freshman Isaiah Blackmon (Charlotte, N.C./West Charlotte)'s 17 points at UMES. 

THOMPSON CONTRIBUTES OFF THE BENCH

The Saint Francis bench outscored its Binghamton counterparts on Tuesday night, 17-6, as the Flash found itself in foul trouble throughout the night. Sophomore Basil Thompson (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter) played a big role in that stat. He scored nine points and added six rebounds in 18 minutes of action. That followed his 10-point, seven-rebound performance against Duquesne last Saturday. He's averaging 6.1 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game, good for fourth on the team in that category. 

KING JOINS TEAM

Freshman Jamaal King (Salisbury, Md./Bishop O'Connell) has joined the team effective Dec. 13. King, a Bishop O'Connell (Va.) graduate, brings the total number of Saint Francis freshmen to eight. King shifted to point guard from shooting guard for Bishop O'Connell last season following the graduation of current Maryland guard Melo Trimble. In that role, he became one of the top players in the D.C.-metro area.

SACRED HEART TIME CHANGE

The Red Flash's game against Sacred Heart on Jan. 4 has been changed to a 5 p.m. start from its original 7:30 start time. The men will now play the first game in a doubleheader with the SFU and SHU women.

ABOUT ALBANY

Albany enters Saturday night's game with the Red Flash at 7-4 after its five-game winning streak was snapped by Siena last Saturday night, 78-70. Albany began that winning streak with a 74-73 home win over NJIT on Nov. 27. Saint Francis' next opponent is NJIT on Dec. 30. Among the Great Danes' four losses are a season-opening loss at then-No. 2/1 Kentucky (78-65) and a loss at South Florida (63-61).

Evan Singletary (14.4 ppg) leads three Great Danes in double figures scoring. Ray Sanders averages 11.5 points per game, while Peter Hooley is just behind at 11.4 points per game. Sanders leads the team with 17 steals while also making 41.7 percent (15-for-36) of his three-point attempts. Joe Cremo (8.6 ppg) and Mike Rowley (8.2 ppg) are next in line for Albany scoring, and Rowley is the team's leading rebounder at 7.5 rebounds per game.

LOOKING AHEAD

Saint Francis breaks for Christmas following Saturday's game. The Flash plays NJIT to close non-conference action at home on Dec. 30 before NEC play begins Jan. 2 against Wagner. Albany hosts Niagara on Wednesday before traveling to face St. Francis Brooklyn on Dec. 29 and Cornell on Jan. 2 to finish non-conference play. 

SERIES HISTORY

The teams meet for just the second time ever on Saturday, with the first coming last season.  Albany was on its way to its third straight America East title, but Saint Francis defeated the Great Danes, 69-59, on Dec. 6. That win started a great December run for the Red Flash as it followed that victory with wins at Duquesne and at Rutgers.
