Thank you so much to the Heitzenrater family for opening their home and feeding us as we return for practice. Nothing like some good chili and football on a cold, rainy day!
Being a collegiate student-athlete requires an incredible commitment of effort, passion, time and self. We are so thankful for the commitment that these men displayed this year and are proud of all that they accomplished. Go Tigers!

Congratulations to Colin Kahl on his induction to the Order of the Gown!
Admittedly, this post is long overdue. In the words of the great poet Aubrey Graham, “Better late than never, but never late is better.”
Congrats to the slender assassin! Russ was a constant scoring threat this season. His 14.7 PPG was 1st among newcomers and 7th in the league. He was also 3rd in the league in FT% at 75.9%.
