Hawk Season Ticket Holders - Even though the academic year is winding down, the players and coaches continue to be hard at work. The players are focused in the classroom and in off-season conditioning and the coaches are busy on the recruiting trail and finalizing the schedule for next season.

The Hawks will once again have a strong non-conference schedule highlighted by an appearance in the Pre-Season NIT. Included in our bracket will be Syracuse, Albany and Siena. We will also travel to play Creighton and will face Gonzaga at home - all this before conference play even begins. Add to the mix our annual Big 5 contests and it is sure to be another exciting season!

In the meantime, we have some great events planned for the "off-season" --
