FROM THE COACH
"As we all know, GNAC Basketball has some really good coaches and programs in it," head coach
Keffrey Fazio said. "We tend to know each other quite a bit, and each game, usually the team that can remain who they are through all of the challenges the game presents has the best chance to come out on top that night. Every team has a goal to win the conference, and it's going to be a grind for the next two and a half months. Looking forward to it."
