Binghamton hoops holding open tryouts

What happens when your imploding program dismisses six players just before the season starts? You hold tryouts.

Binghamton’s men’s basketball is having tryouts Tuesday and Wednesday for any available students (provided they can bring proof of having had a physical). Lots of schools have tryouts, but they’re usually for scout team spots and guys who will be at the end of the bench.

Anyone who impresses the Bearcat coaches at these things could be one of the first guys off the bench…

"So far, about 25 students have expressed an interest in trying out," said Gail Glover, University spokeswoman.

Could be an entertaining tryout. All they need now is to convince a former star point guard who never used up his eligibility to return to school for one last shot at glory. They could turn it into a movie!
