A new season starts off with a win

The 2012-2013 season started Saturday with a 79-77 win at Babson College. The Bears played very well, with key offensive and defensive contributions from Q Kim, Eric Tung and newcomer Sam Bresnick. The game was close the whole way, with no team ever leading by more than 6 points. Up 1 at halftime, Brown came out strong in the second half, but missed crucial free throws down the stretch stopping them from pulling away. In the end, Brown's defense prevailed, leading to the 2 point victory.

Next up, Ivy League Tournament!

Win vs. Babson

The Bears had a great win against Babson on Saturday, despite some bumps in the road that pushed tip-off back to 6:15. We had our fullest roster of the season, welcoming some newcomers as well as the veterans. The Bears came out hot, hitting 5 three-pointers in the first 5 minutes, and did not cool down through the first half. A strong Babson team upped the physicality in the second half and beat the Bears down low, but good free throw shooting down the stretch helped Brown pull out the W by 3, 81-78.

Fall 2011

The Brown club basketball team is back in action this fall.
We play our first games November 5-6 at Harvard in the Ivy League tournament. This is the first time all 6 Ivy League teams will be together for an event.
We will then travel to Northeastern on November 12 for a 1 PM tip-off.
More games are currently being scheduled for late November and early December.

The team is looking really strong, and we will definitely compete with the best club teams in the nation this year.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone involved for a great first season. We have a lot to build on, and the view is very optimistic for the future.
