Basketball season continues at 7 p.m. tonight (Thursday), when our women’s team hosts Whitman College in Miller Gymnasium in the Northwest Conference Tournament semifinals. The winner advances to the conference championships to play for an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament. The men will also play Whitman College Thursday night on the road.

Because this is a Northwest Conference tournament event, staff and faculty have to pay for entry ($6 for adults; $3 for seniors over 65 and children under 12), but George Fox students are still admitted for free. Let’s pack Miller Gymnasium and cheer our Bruins to victory!
