With a traumatic ending to the season last year, which was one of the best seasons in over 20 years, the Red Flash men’s basketball team is very excited to get started this season, especially after holding the first home playoff game in 26 years.

The Red Flash made it to the NEC Championship game for the first time in over a decade, but the team unfortunately lost to Mount St. Mary’s. This year, the Red Flash men expect to get a chance at the title once again.

As of September 30, the first official practice of the year for the men’s team was underway.

With almost the same exact team from last year, despite a few graduates and transfers, there have been four new additions on the men’s team: Markus Vallien from Houston, Mark Flagg from Fairless Hills, Luidgy Laporal from France, and Dan Henry from Buffalo.

The Red Flash men have their hands full this year with games against three NCAA Top 25 teams: Duke and Louisville, both in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Saint Mary’s in the West Coast Conference.

With great expectations on the season, it’s safe to say that this year will be an exciting one.
