The Corsairs (1-0) opened the season in grand style with a 105-77 win over Johnson and Wales tonight. Well, at least the second half was grand. The Corsairs trailed 49-47 at halftime after a first half in which JWU (0-2) shot nearly 60% from the floor. But UMD was able to straighten things out in the second half, thanks in large part to a 20-0 run that helped secure the victory.
The Corsairs had five players in double figures, but newcomer Lance Greene stole the show, scoring a double-double in just 24 minutes.
Here are the official stats from tonight's game.
New to the web tonight are a pair of game recaps, one from UMass Dartmouth Sports Information Director Dave Geringer, and the other from Mick Colageo for the New Bedford Standard-Times. You can read Dave's story at CorsairAthletics.com. Frankly, I'm a little surprised Mick didn't elect to run up to Salem to catch our hockey game! Kidding aside, it was great to have him there covering hoops, and you can read his story in the New Bedford Standard-Times.
Mick was also gracious enough to allow me to film his postgame interviews for the blog. Below, in order, are his interviews with Brian Baptiste, Jeff Macchi, and Lance Greene. I was standing a little farther away each time, so turn your speakers up a little for Jeff's interview, and then a little more for Lance's.
In case you missed it, you can click over to the broadcast interviews (recorded before the game) of Brian Baptiste and a joint interview with Matt Walker and Jeff Macchi. Thanks to Podbean.com for hosting these interviews free of charge.
Hope you enjoyed all the coverage of opening night. I'll be back on Friday to get you ready for the Hampton Inn Classic. I would appreciate your feedback in the comments as I get started.
