Senior Day Showdown Against NJIT | Maine Black Bears Basketball News

Senior Day is here for the University of Maine men’s basketball team as they host NJIT on Saturday, February 14th, honoring their graduating players. Despite a tough loss to UMBC last week — where standout TJ Biel dropped a career-high 23 points and five threes — Maine’s defense has been elite all season, ranking 69th nationally in points allowed and leading the America East in three-point defense and steals. Mekhi Gray also hit a major milestone, surpassing 1,000 career points in that same game. With NJIT holding a slight edge in the all-time series, but Maine already having beaten them this season, expect a fiery, emotional showdown as the Black Bears look to cap their year on a high note.
