Ladies and gentlemen of the Skyhawk Nation, do I have a treat for you. For anyone that’s been living under a rock, let me fill you in: the men’s basketball team is kicking total butt this year. And I mean really kicking it. In fact, Today, Wednesday March 2nd at 7pm the boys will be playing in the NE-10 semifinals at Bentley (join the fan bus!!!). Amongst all this success, however, Lauren and I were able to get ahold of some of the seniors to ask them the important stuff.
