Pack fans were treated to an exciting weekend of hoops Friday and Saturday during the Thanksgiving Classic at Massari Arena.
The CSU Pueblo women’s basketball squad dominated its two-night set, setting the stage for a forceful season in a 97-48 trouncing of University of the Southwest (N.M) Friday and doubling down Saturday with a 83-45 victory over Friends University.
The men got off to a rough start Friday with a 39-61 loss to Texas A&M International, but rebounded Saturday to best Christian College, 84-76.
The squads next hit the hardwood Friday, when both teams are slated to do battle against UCCS at home. The women’s game starts at 5:30 p.m. and the men’s is expected to tip off at 7:30 p.m., respectively.
Multimedia journalist and chief Today photographer Brianna Sammons will have a preview of the women’s season in our Dec. 4 edition. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak of some of the images she made during the contests.
