The Daily Bruin

The basketball season continues at 5 p.m. today (Saturday), when our women’s team hosts Whitman College in Miller Gymnasium in the Northwest Conference Tournament finals. The winner receives an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament.

Because this is a Northwest Conference tournament event, staff and faculty are required to pay admission ($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!
