“Our goal is to continue to grow Alumni Weekend so moving forward it’s a “must do” for all our basketball alums,” men’s basketball coach Aaron Kelly said. “Come to play in the game, come for the food and drinks, or just come to catch up with old friends. Alumni weekend is always my favorite weekend of the season and we hope to have another great turnout this year.”
