The 2020-21 Binghamton University Bearcats Women’s Basketball season officially gets under way this afternoon, as they host the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, with a tip off at 4pm in the Events Center.

WNBF’s Roger Neel will be providing live Facebook pre-game, half time, and post-game updates, and info on the Bearcats Facebook Page.

The Bearcats Women held their annual preseason media day yesterday afternoon at the Events Center, among those in attendance was BU Women’s basketball head coach Bethann Shapiro Ord, and sophomore guard Denai Bowman.

One of the topics was dealing with the pandemic during the off season, and preparations for the start of the 2020-21 schedule, and how the team as come together after a long wait to finally begin the season.
