Women’s Basketball | Locked down: top-notch defense carries Jumbos into NCAA tournament (via Tufts Daily)
As Tuesday’s practice wrapped up with some scrimmaging, Berube stood on the sideline, a paper folded hot-dog style in her shorts, hands clasped behind her back. After a particularly lackluster defensive effort from her starters, Berube barked at those wearing black practice jerseys to pick up their defense. It was a verbal energy shot; the starters swarmed post entries and clogged passing lanes. They just needed a little nudge to return to the Jumbos’ way.
Three minutes into a later scrimmage littered with shot clock violations and steals, Berube ordered her players to look at the scoreboard.
It read 0-0.

AMHERST — All you need to know about the Amherst College men’s basketball program is that it actually has the date (March 17) and place (Salem, Va.) of the Division 3 national championship game on its preseason schedule.
Not even Duke does that.
Well, there is another thing you should probably know, more specifically the man behind the program and its incredible expectations — Andover’s own David Hixon.
