Anna Chadwick/Morning Sentinel ORONO — There will be another NCAA men’s basketball tournament without the University of Maine. This time, though, the thought of that doesn’t come with shoulder shrugs of resignation. This time, it comes with hope. Saturday’s 77-59 loss to Bryant in the America East championship game ended the best season in decades for the Black Bears. There was a watch party at Orono Brewing, not far from campus, where dozens of fans gathered to view the game.
