Good evening everybody and welcome to Memorial Hall in Plattsburgh, NY. I am Zachary Aronow bringing you live blogging action for the Brandeis Hoot. Be sure to check the NCAA and d3hoops for any prior information and listen live to WBRS.

One minute left to go before the UAA and NESCAC runner ups.

Starting for Brandeis: Kevin Olson, Joe Coppens, Kwame Graves-Fulgham, Terrell Hollins, Steven Hill

Starting for Amherst: Andrew Olson, Brian Baskaukas, Fletcher Walters, Kevin Hopkins and Brandon Jones.

Last time they played, Brandeis upset Amherst at home 72-62 back on December 8. Amherst is 25-3, 9-0 in NESCAC play and without a doubt this should be an exciting game. Andrew Olson is the man to watch on Amherst, averaging 12.1 per game and makes things happen. Fletcher Walters leads the team in scoring with 14.4 points per game.

Brandeis is in their home whites which is fitting as the Brandeis crowd is in full force, dwarfing the Amherst purple so far.

With that, Brandeis wins the tip so it’s on to exciting Elite Eight action, stay tuned.
