Wednesday, November 25, 2015
The Brown Bears men's basketball team (1-4) fell 88-77 to (3-1) New Hampshire on Tuesday night at the Pizzitola Center. Brown has now lost three straight games.
"I'd like to credit New Hampshire, I think they are a really good team. They are really well coached, they have good players, good talent, so you have to credit them. I know we can be better, I expect us to be better, I thought we did some good things like we have in all of our games, but it took us a little bit too long, a little bit too late against a good team like that, but I saw some encouraging things especially in the second half," said Brown head coach Mike Martin after the game.
