VESTAL, N.Y. - Binghamton (1-8) wraps up an abbreviated two-game homestand when the Bearcats welcome Division II member Caldwell (5-4) at 7 p.m. Monday night at the Events Center. It will be the first game between the two programs.

QUICK HITS
• The Bearcats put 70 points on the board and forced 18 Penn turnovers in their last outing on Saturday but the visiting Quakers shot 51% (to BU's 36%) and hit 16-of-20 free throws in the second half to hold off BU 79-70.

• Freshman forward Dusan Perovic (13.2 ppg.) averaged 25.0 ppg. in his two games last week. Perovic gave a record-setting performance at BostonU on Wednesday, scoring 34 points, including 29 in the second half. The total broke the single-game Division I program record of 33. Perovic hit 11-of-18 from the floor, including 6-for-8 from beyond the arc. He then tallied a team-high 16 pts. against Penn on Saturday. This season, he has made 16-of-26 three-pointers and is shooting a higher percentage from beyond the arc (62%) than inside (45%). 

• Freshman forward Willie Rodriguez notched his second collegiate double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds vs. Penn.
