Incredibly appreciative of this opportunity. Very blessed to be a part of a program that supports its managers like this program does. Thank you to Coach Davenport and his family, the rest of the staff, the university, and the people who have contributed to this already!

Lipscomb was one of our toughest opponents thus far. Short handed and trailed for 36 minutes, but stayed in range and closed strong en route to a 5-0 start. @schristmas19 was the MVP in this one, scoring 17 points and hitting three triples.
Bisons drop a close one 71-62 to a very tough and physical Bellarmine team. We fall to 1-1 in the conference and 6-4 overall. We will look to bounce back next time out! Appreciate y’all coming out @BUmanagers @ManagerGames_
