It’s that time of year again.

Basketball season is right around the corner, and this year’s men are looking to build on a strong performance last year that saw the team finish 12-6 within the Big Sky and 21-13 overall.

The men’s basketball team returned to the court last week under bigger expectations than usual. This year’s squad features an astonishing six returning seniors, including every starter from last year’s team. With so much veteran leadership, the team should be able to develop chemistry and rhythm within the squad much quicker than most.

Head coach Don Verlin is going into his ninth year at the helm, and he has an unprecedented embarrassment of riches in leadership and experience.
