University of Maine head women’s basketball coach Amy Vachon announced on Friday that the Black Bears are going to be playing all 2022-23 home games at the Memorial Gym (The Pit) in Orono.
The men’s team under the direction of new head coach Chris Markwood plans to play as many games as possible at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, depending on events and facility availability. Vachon said, “It is extremely important that we put our players in the best situations to be successful. Playing every home game in the same facility, in contrast to playing in multiple venues, gives our team the best chance to be successful. As we make the move to play our games in The Pit, we look forward to the incredible atmosphere and big crowds that will come and cheer us on, giving us the competitive advantage to vie for a trip to the NCAA Tournament.”
Full game schedules and ticket information will be announced soon. All ticket operations for the 2022-23 basketball seasons will be handled by the University of Maine Box Office, which can be reached at 207-581-BEAR or by email at um-tickets@maine.edu.
