Bates Basketball – Babson Invitational Champion – How would have Roger Babson felt?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Anthony L Burnham submits-

Bates Men’s Basketball defeated Babson College at the buzzer 54-51 to claim the 29th Babson Invitational Champion at Babson College this past Sunday.   Captained by Gloucester standout Adam Philpott, Bates opened the season defeating Nichols 81-78 on Saturday to advance to defeat the #23rd nationally ranked Babson College Beavers.  With a healthy Gloucester crowd in attendance, how would have Roger Babson, the Gloucester native and Babson College founder felt?   To add to the irony, the current Bates squad has Gloucester native, and football captain, Mike Tomaino, as a student assistant.   Additionally, current Babson head coach, Stephen Brennan, is a 1987 Bates College grad and 3 year college roommate of Gloucester’s Anthony Burnham.   What would have Roger wrote on a rock in Dogtown after this weekend?
