FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2017 NE10 Championship Bracket
MANSFIELD, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference announced Thursday it has reached an agreement with NESN, New England's most watched sports network, to carry the Men's Basketball Championship Final on Saturday live on NESNPlus.
The all-Manchester, N.H., title bout, featuring the top two seeds from the Northeast Division – No. 1 Southern New Hampshire and No. 2 Saint Anselm – will tip off at 1 p.m. from the SNHU Fieldhouse.
This will be only the second time the two teams have met in the NE10 Championship as they played in the NE10 Semifinals last year. Saint Anselm and SNHU split their two meetings this season with the home team holding serve on both occasions.
"We are thrilled that this opportunity came about and we'd like to thank both Saint Anselm and Southern New Hampshire for their help in making this be possible. We're excited to showcase what should be a great event for the league to the more than four million households within the New England area," said NE10 Commissioner Julie Ruppert.
"We continue to be committed to doing whatever we can to enhance our championship opportunities for our student-athletes and we believe this fits that goal."
Pack Network will handle production of the game, with Steve Zerdelian calling all the action and Jacob VanRyn serving as color analyst.
