25 years ago this evening a catastrophic tornado ripped through and apart our campus and community. We didnโt just rebuild, we created something even better and stronger. We will continue to do that with the right people on the hill!
Solid group effort to earn a win and move to 2-0 in MIAC play.
@NolanMalo
contributed 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists while
@i_doug3
added 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. The Gusties shot 47% while only giving up 37%.
Last night was fun! We are incredibly happy for Coach Hanson and honored to be a small part of the legacy. There have been many players and coaches that have been part of the 500 wins - thanks to Coach and all else who have made Gustavus basketball a special family. ๐๐๐
We are excited for the opportunities that 2019-20 will bring. One of the many reasons we are excited is the group below. These men understand the rich history of the ๐๐๐. Today and all those after are a gift to build upon the tradition of excellence & brotherhood!

It was a really good 1st day. Today is a new day to make important strides in building our habits/culture. This morning our guys were up well before the sun lifting & embarking in our traditional Old Main Hill conditioning workout! Nothing like watching the โ๏ธ rise as we prepare!
Last night was a lot of fun and everything you would want in a final tuneup. We learned a great deal about ourselves. Thanks to
@BLC_MensHoops
for the battle. Nolan Malo (21pts/4reb), Isaac Douglas (18pts/4reb) & Pete Lundquist (16pts/7reb) paced the Black & Gold.

Thanks to this group of seniors who were instrumental in us taking a step forward. They helped us decrease our Def FG% by 7%, increase our rebounding by +3 per game, gave up 150 fewer FT's & won 7 more games than last year. The needle moved drastically in one year.

These two have given so much to our program! We are fortunate to have them in our Gustie family and honor them tonight. Come support the seniors and the rest of the fellas tonight!
How many "short rolls" can we fit into one picture?! ๐ Only somewhat kidding...congrats to two guys who had terrific seasons for The Black & Gold which helped us reach the MIAC playoffs. Time to build, improve and continue to take steps forward! ๐๐๐
Happy birthday to our dedicated and hardworking AC and Strength Coach

We will continue to work on the Xโs and Oโs as always but we are really proud of tonightโs effort and selflessness, thatโs what put us in a favorable position. Grit.
There are so many great things happening at Gustavus and with that in our program. We are excited to partner as a Nike program. Black & Gold never gets old!

Big game on a night we get to honor some big time seniors. The five players and one student assistant have represented the ๐๐๐ the right way both on the floor and in the classroom. See you at 7pm!
Last night was yet another reminder how special our basketball family is both while playing & for all the years after. We had an amazing turnout last night in Minneapolis for our alumni basketball gathering. Seeing fellas from all generations converse about life/hoops was GOLDen.
We celebrated Doug Espenson and his induction into the Gustavus Athletics Hall of Fame. Doug had a tremendous career amounting over 1,000 points scored. His impact off the court, as a teammate, and his unselfishness is what makes him a Hall of Famer! Congratulations Doug!
Wow, what a day we had Monday. Thank you to all of those that either attended our golf outing, donated to the event or both! Our staff & players are lucky to be surrounded by so many loyal Gusties! Here are a couple pics of our returning players saying, "thank you" to all!

ATTN Local Hoop Junkies: Come see terrific area basketball as we travel to

Senior Night and last men's basketball game of the year. This group has done an incredible job for us and it will be a great night to honor them as we host the 3rd ranked team in the country. Let's get Lund rollin and send these guys out with a fun night!
Thank you for your excellent presentation yesterday, Team Gustavus Adolphus College. We wish you the best of luck in the future!
