A few odds and ends from around Costello Gymnasium/the UMass Lowell men's and women's basketball teams. The River Hawks host Southern Connecticut on Wednesday night.
MAX MIA?: Captain Max Kerman was absent from this weekend’s box score for the UMass Lowell men’s basketball team. The River Hawks went on the road and defeated Pace University on Saturday, but the Watertown native did not play in a game for the first time this winter.
The sophomore is dealing with an oblique injury. He’d started all 14 games coming into Saturday. Kerman has posted averages of 8.4 points per game and 5.6 rebounds per game (second on the team) while shooting 43 percent from the field.
Freshman big man John Corbacio also suffered a shoulder injury in Saturday’s game and had to leave the game in the first half.
OFFENSE ON TAP: Wednesday’s game between the UML women’s basketball team and Southern Connecticut figures to be an offensive showcase as the River Hawks and Owls are two of the bottom three teams in the Northeast-10 Conference for scoring defense (SCSU ranks last). Southern Connecticut also resides in the cellar in terms of field goal percentage defense. The first squad to D-up might just pull ahead.
The Owls have allowed 70 points or more in their last four games.
