my humps

today is not friday, BUT it IS basketball day!! player's team is ranked 2nd in their conference and tonight is the play-in game to the conference tournament this weekend. if they win tonight, they play sat and sun. here is a hodge podge of info about the team:

this link will bring you to the ncaa division 2 page where mary is on the homepage (woo hoo!) and here is the direct link to the article the ncaa wrote about them.

our coach is also coach of the month as read here.

this is a link to the local paper in bismarck talking about the team.

so all that is conference-related. in other good news, the team... well, let me just quote someone else:

"The University of Mary Men’s basketball team have jumped 5 spots in the national rankings and currently sit 14th in the country, just a day before they host their first conference playoff game in D2 school history."
