March 6, 2015 Sophomore Will Bellamy joined the Johns Hopkins Athletic Communications staff as a student assistant not long after arriving at Homewood in August 2013. An experienced writer, he bolsters the efforts of the office with a preview of each weekend's events
(please note that this is not intended to be an exhaustive in-depth preview of every game or event. Rather, it provides a quick overview for fans with key links and things to look for. Key games, especially those against nationally-ranked teams or those with playoff implications, will lead the column each week.) Men's Basketball For the first time since 2007, the Johns Hopkins men's basketball team will host an NCAA Tournament regional at Goldfarb Gymnasium. The Blue Jays will square off against Keene State on Friday night with the hope of advancing to Saturday's game against either Skidmore or Wesleyan.
After traveling to Virginia Wesleyan last season for the NCAA Tournament, the Blue Jays will have the support of a home crowd on their side this time around.
The Blue Jays will likely look to seniors
Jimmy Hammer and
George Bugarinovic for leadership. Hammer and Bugarinovic were both named to the All-Centennial Conference first team this week after combining for 28.2 points per game during the regular season.
The Blue Jays are scheduled to play at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday and, if they emerge victorious, at 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Live Stats & Video Men's Lacrosse After a pair of losses, the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team will look to re-discover its rhythm against Navy, Saturday afternoon at Homewood Field.
Topping the Midshipmen, however, will be far from easy for 17th-ranked Hopkins (2-3). Navy (3-2) recently showed its toughness during an 8-7 triple-overtime win over 15th-ranked Towson and fields a lethal scoring duo in T.J. Hanzsche and Kevin Wendel. Hanzsche and Wendel have combined for 17 goals so far this season.
Hopkins looks to counter with its own dangerous scorer in
Ryan Brown, who currently ranks fifth in the nation in goals per game with 3.80. Saturday's matchup is slated to start at noon ET.
