Entering the 2009-10 season, the Binghamton men's basketball
program was surrounded with question marks. Due to off- the-court issues, the
roster was decimated by dismissals, and changes were made throughout the
coaching staff. However, instead of feeling sorry for the program and the
situation he was thrown into, first-year head coach Mark Macon helped lead the
Bearcats to a 13-18 (8-8) record and created a culture of toughness throughout
the program.

Under the watch of head coach Nicole Scholl, the Binghamton
women's basketball program has proven to be capable of competing with any team
in the America East Conference. However, the Bearcats have not quite been able
to make the jump from the middle of the conference standings, to competing for
an America East championship. With many of the top players in the conference
lost to graduation, there is the hope that this might be the year that
Binghamton turns the corner and competes for a conference championship.
