Recap

It's been a while since I've posted, but I wanted to recap the past few weeks.

We played Babson at home on February 6th. We were leading big in the first half, but the Babson team fought back and made the second half very back-and-forth. We lost a heartbreaker in the end by 4 points.

We also got really awesome uniforms (tops, shorts, shoes) and I want to thank the guys in the club sports department for helping us out a lot with that.

Hopefully we will get a game in this weekend, and we are looking forward to playing Dartmouth and maybe others after spring break.

First Weekend

We had a great first weekend of competition. On Saturday we hosted Harvard, Yale and King's College (NY) at the OMAC. Yale won the round-robin tournament, finishing 3-0.
Brown lost in close games to Harvard and Yale and beat King's College by 35.

On Sunday we traveled to Boston to face Northeastern. Undermanned, we fought valiantly in the second half before losing by 4.

Overall, the weekend was a great success. We played very close games with established teams, and we were not at full strength. We look forward to playing and competing with these teams in the future.

Next up is Babson on Saturday.

Initial Interest

So far, just by Brown Morning Mail and word of mouth, over 25 people have expressed initial interest in playing competitive club basketball at Brown, ranging from First-Years to Seniors.

If you or someone you know would be interested, send an email to BrownClubBasketball@gmail.com with your name and class year. The initial list will be submitted soon as a part of the club registration process, and we want the list to be as long as possible.

Starting from scratch

Hey, and welcome to the website for the Brown University Men's Club Basketball team. We are just starting up, looking for prospective players, teams to compete against, and connections throughout the northeast. In the future I'll post our roster, schedule/results, pictures, game recaps, and other comments to let everyone know what's going on with the team.

Right now we are in the process of finalizing our proposal to the Brown Department of Athletics and Physical Education (DAPE). I am very confident that our proposal will be accepted, and with fundraising efforts, we can have a completely functional team in 2011. As part of the proposal we are actively recruiting students who are interested in playing, and researching/networking with teams in the area to schedule games and tournaments.

For more information, or to contact us about joining the team or competing against us, shoot an email to BrownClubBasketball@gmail.com.

Check back soon for more updates.
