It was a night of celebration on many ends for the men’s basketball team against the Towson University Tigers on Saturday night. The night started with the recognition of the four senior players. Guards John Vaughan and Dre Smith and forwards Chris Fleming and Darryl Monroe were honored right before tipoff. Then after that, the Patriots (20-9, 13-5) went on ahead and played a strong physical game to win 71-59 against the Tigers (10-21, 5-13), clinching the team’s first ever home undefeated season with 14 wins.
“Your last home game is always special and you want to end it on a positive note,” said Head Coach Jim Larranaga.
