The 2025-26 basketball season officially tips off today! The Deacs are starting the season off in the Joel for what should be a relatively stress-free tune up game against American University. With a ton of new players, the first game of the year still has the potential to be a little shaky, so let’s not overreact if the team doesn’t look like a well-oiled machine right out of the gates.
Go Deacs!
