VESTAL, N.Y. -- With the release of the America East men's basketball schedule, Binghamton's complete 2008-09 schedule is finalized. Several games still may be adjusted once the television slate is determined in the coming weeks.

The Bearcats open their 16-game America East schedule on January 3 at Maine. Binghamton then hosts Stony Brook on January 5 in its first home conference game.

The January 31 home game against Maine will mark the five-year anniversary of the Events Center, and the celebration is one of several highlight promotions for the 2008-09 season.

Both basketball teams will again take part in Late Night Madness, scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. on October 17.
