If Thursday night and Friday's women's quarterfinals sessions are any indication, tonight's UMaine/New Hampshire matchup should have an intimate setting.
UMaine and New Hampshire, it appears, are the only schools in the entire men's and women's field that didn't send a band and/or cheerleaders and/or dance team. Many of the schools have all three in attendance.
In addition, the Black Bears and New Hampshire play the final game of the evening, long after many of the neutral fans will have left for the day.
Sidenote
Very impressed with Hartford's effort and atmosphere with many different vendors and activities for fans young and old.
Welcome to Black Bears Pit. We follow UMaine hoops and have a two-part dream: That one day the Black Bears will play in the NCAA Tournament and have a first-class, on-campus facility of their own ... a home for Black Bears basketball. Plans to renovate Memorial Gym (aka, The Pit) were announced several years ago.

Pit Stop
Some day, UMaine basketball will have a home of its own. And it may look something like this. At least that's the plan.
