With Maine's loss to New Hampshire earlier Saturday, UMBC (4-25, 2-14) ended up with the No. 7 seed and will play at No. 2 Vermont on Wednesday.

Jourdan Grant scored 19 points, Cody Joyce 18 and Ben Grace 17 for the Retrievers.

Grace hit one of his five 3-pointers to get UMBC within four, 69-65, with 2:09 left but Beck responded with a 3-pointer and the Bearcats added four free throws in the final minute.

Binghamton took 31-24 lead at halftime behind 11 points from Beck.
