The University of Maine and Husson University men\u2019s basketball teams have announced that they will play an early season scrimmage in Bangor later this month. <\/p>\n

The Division I Black Bears and Division III Eagles will go head-to-head on Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

That game at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor will provide fans the first glimpse at a new UMaine team that is looking to build off last year\u2019s America East finals appearance, and a Husson squad that will be on the hunt for another North Atlantic Conference title. <\/p>\n

It will be the first game action at UMaine for highly anticipated freshman Ace Flagg<\/a>, who starts his career at UMaine after winning multiple high school championships in Maine, Florida and North Carolina. Flagg is the twin brother of Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg. <\/p>\n

UMaine has also added local standout Emmitt Byther<\/a>\u00a0of Old Town and brought in several experienced transfers<\/a>\u00a0after losing some of their key contributors<\/a>\u00a0from a year ago to graduation and the transfer portal. <\/p>\n

This will be the first home exhibition game for UMaine coach Chris Markwood, according to the school. Husson coach Warren Caruso<\/a>\u00a0starts the season with 600 career wins in sight, and Caruso was just inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the exhibition game are available on the Cross Insurance Center Website, or at the UMaine ticket office at 207-581-BEAR.<\/p>\n

Individual game tickets are $10 and group pricing starts at $6, according to a UMaine press release. The game is free for UMaine and Husson students who show a valid student ID.<\/p>\n

UMaine opens its regular season at George Washington on Nov. 3. Husson hosts the University of Maine at Fort Kent on Nov. 10 for its regular season debut. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of Maine and Husson University men\u2019s basketball teams have announced that they will play an early…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[402,398,400,401,99,7157],"class_list":["post-197907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-basketball","tag-ncaabasketball","tag-sports","tag-update"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
