Game of the Year: Men’s Basketball-UNH vs. University at Albany February 11, 2016. Final score: 69-68 UNH

By Bret Belden · Thursday, April 28, 2016

UNH had improved heading into the 2015-16 season, but they weren’t where they wanted to be. Part of that was due to their early season performances against the top teams in America East. The Wildcats lost to Vermont and Stony Brook, both home games, by a combined 46 points. The next big name for the Wildcats to welcome to Lundholm Gymnasium was three-time conference champion, the Albany Great Danes. Needless to say, this was a must win game for the Wildcats.

By Bret Belden · Thursday, April 21, 2016

A lot has changed over the course of 34 years: presidents have come and gone, music stars have slowly faded out and the technology has changed rapidly. However, one man’s longevity has bucked the trend of an ever changing world, that man in Cory Schwartz.

For the last quarter of a century, the UNH Field Hockey program has been led by one of their own.

Through the successful years of postseason runs, coaching awards, achievements and accomplishments, Balducci looks to give back to her alma mater.

Let's make it Clare: The Kobe Bryant farewell column

By Bret Belden · Thursday, April 14, 2016

As this year’s NBA regular season winds down, the game will say goodbye to one of its all-time greats. Kobe Bryant will retire at the end of this season after 20 years playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. It marks the end of one of the most productive and incredible careers in recent memory. But as I begin to think back on Bryant’s career, I wonder what his lasting legacy will be after he leaves the game for good.

Let's make it Clare: Golden State Warriors chasing history

By Bret Belden · Thursday, April 7, 2016

The year is 1996 and the Michael-Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, had just beaten the Seattle Supersonics, led by Gary Payton in the NBA Finals. The team with Hall of Famers Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and of course Michael Jordan capped off a 72-10 campaign, a record for wins in a season, that concluded with a championship. From that point on, many considered the 1995-1996 Bulls the greatest to ever step foot on an NBA court. However, I have a question. What about this year’s Golden State Warriors?
