UMaine basketball game offers children a shot to be on television

ORONO – Youngsters attending the Nov. 25 University of Maine men’s basketball game will have the opportunity to fill out a ZOOM into Action application.

Eric, a ZOOM kid himself, will be there to tell kids how to get a chance to be on “ZOOM,” the children’s show on Maine Public Television.

The game against Troy State begins at noon at Alfond Arena. Youth tickets are $6.

Tickets will be an even better deal during the Dead River Co. Classic tournament Nov. 23. All tickets will be $5, and the price covers both games that day.

The University of Maine women will be featured against Bradley in the 7 p.m. match. At 4:30 p.m., Xavier will take on the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay.
