The University Programming Board and the Office of Student Activities came together to host the “Students vs Faculty” basketball game on Wednesday, March 2nd, at 6:00 p.m. The event had a modest turnout, but it made up for that with lots of lively spirits.

The team in the white jerseys was students, and the maroon jerseys were faculty and staff. The students scored the first shot and stayed mostly ahead during the first quarter to start the game.

But, their triumph was short-lived as the faculty and staff team took the lead for the duration of the game. The students fought hard but to no avail. The final score was 51:39, with the faculty and staff claiming the victory.

The halftime show consisted of performances by the Golden Dream Dancers. The Golden Dream’s dance captain, Taylor Howard, said it was the team’s first performance for this type of event, and they are open to performing for similar events if requested.

There were also optional basketball-related games for students to compete in and free concessions during halftime.

It was a night of great camaraderie and fun between students and faculty. To see pictures from the event, check out the gallery.
