BOSTON, Mass. -- America East On Campus, the conference's 30-minute magazine show, explores America East basketball in the third installment of the show's sixth season. The episode will air Monday, Jan. 24 at 1:30 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet.

In this episode, host Eric Frede sets up shop at Case Gym on the campus of Boston University. There he has a one-on-one conversation with second-year men's basketball head coach Pat Chambers. The two discuss Chambers' first season at the helm of the Terriers as well as the expectations for the team coming into this season and the progress his team has made in the 2010-11 campaign.

Frede also takes you on a tour of the 2010-11 season throughout the conference, documenting how injuries have played a factor for so many teams this year. In the Best of U segment, Frede again focuses on injuries as he features a trio of New Hampshire women's basketball players who have overcome a laundry list of injuries to return to the court. Junior forward Denise Beliveau, sophomore guard Abigail LaRosa and freshman guard Kelsey Hogan talk about injuries, redshirting and the perseverance required to return from multiple setbacks.

Another segment features Maine junior guard Gerald McLemore. McLemore talks about his approach to the game of basketball and what it means to him to be a team player. His head coach, Ted Woodward, also chimes in on the star's importance to Black Bear success. Off the court, the San Diego native gives insight into why he chose to travel the 3,323 miles to attend the University of Maine in Orono, Maine.

Finally, On Campus gives an all-access look at first-year head coach John Gallagher as he was miked up for the Hawks' game at New Hampshire on January 11. Fans get to hear the coach in the locker room for pre-game, halftime and post-game talks with the team as well as in-game audio.

America East On Campus is produced by Cod Rock Media of Kittery, Maine, which is owned by Frede and Dan Hannigan. Six original episodes will be produced and distributed during the 2010-11 season. Comcast SportNet in New England will debut all six episodes, while several re-airings will also air on the network.
