I know that UNH always has been a hockey and football school (even though our only National Title came from the 1985 women's lacrosse team) but UNH basketball starts off this weekend with the women's team taking on St. Joe's tonight at 7 at Lundholm. Before the game UNH alumni Jackie MacMullen will be signing copies of her new book she wrote with NBA legends Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
The men's team has their opener Saturday at 7 verse DIII Suffolk. The men's team should be hungry after suffering a heartbreaking loss to Binghamton in the America East Semifinals last year. The 'Cats return four out of five starters, but they really need someone to step up and fill in for standout Tyrece Gibbs who graduated last year. Maybe it will be the Tip-off event all around champion Brian Benson.
I came across an interesting blog the other day that should be helpful to any fans of America East Men's Basketball. Check 'em out: americaleast.blogspot.com. And to college basketball fans in general, I suggest reading clubtrillion. It is written by a manager turned walk-on Mark Titus who was asked to suit up before his sophomore season when two teammates left for the NBA. Titus is now a senior and it hurts to say this, but he goes to the dreaded Ohio State.
This still hurts to watch, but hopefully it will make fans hungry for more:
Stay classy, not UMassy.
SCOPE should get Bo Burnham (did he comment on that post??!!) to box Jackie Mac. Bo has the reach advantage, but Jackie's a Widlcat. I predict that Jackie would throttle him like Bird did to Dr. J.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great match up.
