HAMILTON, N.Y. – The Colgate University men’s basketball team (2-3) will play host to the University of New Hampshire (0-4) tonight at Cotterell Court.  Tip-off is 7 p.m.

The Raiders are beginning an important three-game home stand before they break for final exams.  They will also play host to Long Island on Sunday, Dec. 8 (2 p.m.) and Harvard on Friday, Dec. 13 (7 p.m.)

The Raiders have a six-game winning streak on their home floor after defeating Cornell (76-58) and Hobart (92-56) earlier this season.  Colgate has won 11 of its last 15 games on its home court.
