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.
