Full Schedule Released For UM Basketball
The America East conference released the schedule for the upcoming league match-ups for both the men's and women's basketball teams. Both teams now have their complete schedule available for the 2016-17 season after announcing out of conference match-ups earlier this month.
The Black Bears on the women's side of things will try to defend its conference crown from a year ago when they shared the title with UAlbany. UMaine will host Purdue on November 11th in the season and home opener. The Black Bears will face the Great Danes on January 22nd at home and February 18th on the road. Last season the teams split the season match-ups.
The men's basketball team at UMaine will begin the regular season slate against Virginia Tech on the road on November 11th and will start out America East play on January 5th when they host the Vermont Catamounts. The Black Bears are looking to improve their 8-22 record from last season as Coach Bob Walsh enters his third year with the program.
The America East championship will be held in Portland, ME for the women's teams with the quarterfinals beginning on March 4th and running through the weekend. The men's tournament will be hosted at the higher seeded teams' court, with the championship game scheduled for March 11th.
