New To The Judges' Bench: Men's Basketball

TEXT: New To The Judges' Bench: Men's Basketball, above five head shots of the Class of 2024
Posted: Jan 13, 2021

We’ve spent time honoring our seniors over the course of the last semester – now it’s time to start getting to know the newcomers, the Class of 2024! We’ll take a team-by-team look at our first-year students throughout the coming weeks, from the Fall athletes who will be making the varsity debuts later in 2021 to the Spring players that we will keep our fingers crossed about seeing in action later this semester.

We start our New To The Judges’ Bench feature with men’s basketball!
