COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Tolin era begins for Falcons

The UTPB men’s basketball team plays its first game under new head coach Kyle Tolin when it hosts Adams State at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Falcon Dome.

It is the first of two home games for the Falcons this week as they host Westminster College (Utah) at 4 p.m. Saturday.

In seven seasons guiding the University of Arkansas-Monticello, Tolin won 108 games and qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships twice.

Tolin took over the program in August when former coach Josh Newman resigned to take an assistant coaching position at the University of the Pacific.
