STONY BROOK, N.Y. – The University of New Hampshire men’s basketball team (6-5, 5-3) fell four spots in the America East standings after being swept at home by the UMBC Retrievers (10-3, 6-2) a weekend ago. The pressure was on after falling to .500, and a date with the then conference-leading Stony Brook Seawolves (6-6, 4-2) on the horizon.
The University of New Hampshire (UNH) men’s basketball team dropped their first game of the season to the Bryant University Bulldogs in the team’s first Division I game of the year. Head coach Bill Herrion made it abundantly clear that his team’s defensive performance led to the 85-93 loss in the postgame press conference. The Wildcats allowed Bryant to shoot 50 percent from inside the three-point line and Herrion is shouldering much of the blame.
DURHAM, N.H. – The UNH men’s basketball team was back in action for the first time since March on Wednesday afternoon when they welcomed Keene State College into the Lundholm Gymnasium. The Owls were the first team the Wildcats have played since UMBC in the America East Tournament, and it showed in the first half. Led by junior Nick Guadarrama, UNH pulled ahead in the second half to win by a final of 93-54 leaving head coach Bill Herrion optimistic about the season ahead of them.
Playoff implications, senior day, career milestones and the Wildcats looking to extend their longest winning streak of the season were all at play this past Saturday.
UNH men’s basketball went to UMass Lowell for a date with the Riverhawks on the heels of their loss against UVM. The Wildcats challenged the Riverhawks into the final seconds before losing and falling back below the .500 mark on the season.
