Men's Basketball vs. Bridgewater State, 12/2

MEN'S BASKETBALL vs. #19 BRIDGEWATER STATE BEARS

7 PM, TRIPP ATHLETIC CENTER

LISTEN LIVE!

Tonight, things start to get serious.

The #19 ranked Bridgewater State Bears make the short trip down Route 24 to take on UMass Dartmouth in what promises to be one of the most entertaining games of the 2009-10 season. The Bears' resume is a headscratcher at this point in the young season. They defeated Rhode Island College 95-92 last Tuesday, but the rest of their slate has been far less impressive. BSC had to overcome a 20 point first half deficit in order to defeat Western New England 86-83 on opening night.

The Bears also split an opening weekend effort at the SUNY-New Paltz Tip-off Tournament, defeating Lehman (the only one of the Brothers still in business?!) 68-56 and then dropping the championship by a 78-71 margin to St. Joseph's of Long Island.

The Corsairs haven't played in over a week, but their last victory was a big 92-82 win over Brandeis, who is ranked #23 in this week's d3hoops.com Top 25 poll. Brian Baptiste and company are hoping a win tonight, paired with the Brandeis win, will go a long way toward cancelling out the tough loss to University of New England in the Hampton Inn Classic.

Short post tonight, as I had to run over here from class. Yes, the grad assistant goes to class! Does this make me an NCAA student-broadcaster?

Enjoy the game tonight, folks.
