The America East is kicking off its countdown to the
Basketball Tip-Off Event by previewing each of the 18 teams. Today, we preview
both the men’s and women’s basketball teams from the University of New Hampshire.

As he prepares to enter his sixth season as the head coach
of the University of New Hampshire men's basketball program, Bill Herrion has
perhaps the most talented team of his tenure. The Wildcats return three
starters, including the three top scorers, and nine letterwinners from a team
that went 13-17 (6-10 America East) and advanced to the semifinals of the
America East Championship for the second consecutive season.
New Hampshire Women's Basketball Preview: (Click Here for Full Preview)
Entering the 2010-11 campaign, the New Hampshire Wildcats
women's program is certainly in transition. UNH is coming off a season in which
it finished 9-22 (3-13 America East) and lost its top scorer to graduation.
Despite bringing in some excellent talent to the program, Kristin Cole resigned
as head coach following three seasons in charge of the program. With so much change going on throughout the
program, the Wildcats enter the season as one of the great unknowns in the
America East.
