MBB to play the newest D1 program for season opener

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Found this looking for bits of the schedule- LINK

umass-lowell is making the official jump to Division I this season from D2. Michigan is their first ever D1 game. Welcome to the big time. 

The article speaks glowingly about Michigan calling the program calling a national power. 

You may have heard of the school because of their recent national success on the ice. Michigan will play them in hockey as well on 10/26 at Yost.

The basketball game will be on 11/8. The eve of arguably the second most important game of the home football schedule.

Curse you for making me google our schedule to find out who you thought was our second most important home game. It's Nebraska, everybody.

My dad got his electrical engineering degree from there back in the 60's (?). It was Lowell Tech back then. If he cared about sports we might watch this one together.

Wouldn't Notre Dame be our second most important home game?  Also, I doubt playing them will do much to our SOS.  We're still playing Arizona, Duke, and possibly Georgetown in the Puerto Rico tipoff.  That's three top 10 teams.
