Welcome back from break, everyone. These past few days have been all about self-reflection, learning to be men of good character and being grateful for the little things. So here are a few things I'm thankful for.
The men's basketball team played its first two home games over Thanksgiving break, losing to both Bryant University and St. Francis College. The Bears came up short Wednesday night, falling to Bryant 68-61, and then again Saturday afternoon in a 76-72 overtime defeat at the hands of St. Francis.
Following an 82-48 victory in their season opener against St. Peter's University, the Bears were beaten twice on the road, falling at Fairfield University Tuesday and at the University of Vermont Saturday. The Bears (1-2) fell to Fairfield (2-1) 49-34. The Stags took command of the court from the outset, ...
The No. 15 men's soccer team's season came to a heartbreaking end last night in the second round of the NCAA tournament against the No. 2 seed University of Maryland. The Terps scored a goal in the final minute of regulation to grab a 2-1 lead and advance to the third round in front of a raucous home ...
Looking to win their third consecutive game and end the season on a high note, the Bears came out charged Saturday afternoon, defeating Columbia 22-6 at Brown Stadium. The victory catapulted Bruno to a third-place finish in the Ivy League, a spot it shares with Dartmouth and Princeton, marking the team's ...
The men's basketball team split two nonconference games on the road last week. Bruno lost 86-71 at Central Connecticut State University Thursday and eked out a 70-68 victory over the University of Maine Saturday. Though only three games into the season, the Bears (2-1) have already improved on last ...
The men's hockey team cruised to a 3-0 victory over non-conference opponent Army Saturday at Meehan Auditorium behind a hat trick from forward Matt Lorito '15. Lorito - who already led the team in goals entering the game and doubled his season total to six - found the back of the net once in the first ...
Nine games into the season, the Bears have won awards, suffered injuries, practiced in rain and snow, dished out revenge and tasted some, gone scoreless in front of unfriendly crowds and triumphed for fans at home. A lot has happened. There has been one drive behind it all - the same drive that will ...
Anyone who has ever competed in a 5K race, which translates to just over three miles, knows that running is no easy task. For most people, it is hard enough to complete a 5K in under 23 minutes, which is about 7 minutes, 24 seconds per mile. But running that distance at a pace of 5:24 per mile ...
Alex Tounkara '11.5 and Stephen Peyton '12, former football players for Bruno, brought their love for the game overseas, continuing to play football for teams across the Atlantic after graduating. Both played professional football in Europe earlier this year, with Tounkara competing in the German Football ...
The men's basketball team underwent a major transformation in the offseason, but several aspects of the program remain strangely familiar. The Bears are under new leadership with the arrival of Mike Martin '04, a first-year head coach who launched his coaching career at Brown less than a decade ago. ...
The No. 11 men's soccer team was defeated 2-1 by Dartmouth in a hard-fought battle Friday evening in Hanover, N.H. The Big Green (9-7-0, 5-2 Ivy) scored a controversial buzzer-beating goal in overtime, handing the Bears (12-2-3, 4-1-2) their second loss of the year.
The Bears took care of business for the second week in a row, staging a fourth-quarter rally to defeat Dartmouth 28-24 in Hanover, N.H. The game marked the team's first road victory against an Ivy League opponent this fall and secured a winning record for the season.
Al Pacino's character in "Any Given Sunday" emphatically reminds his players that football is a game of inches. No player knows this so well as the kicker who is often called on to score valuable points and even to win games. An inch in one direction or another can be the difference between a winning ...
Some things get easier with time. The football season is not one of them. Injuries and fatigue settle in, the temperature falls, and most teams' hopes of a championship whittle down to near inexistence. Wednesday evening found the Bears practicing in wind and snow, laboring under the cold brilliance ...
This will be another NBA column, but first, Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin earned his way into today's sports page after rushing for 251 yards and four touchdowns (along with four catches for 21 yards, you PPR nuts) against Oakland last Sunday. If this guy doesn't decide to "Shaq it" and spends his offseason ...
