Men’s Basketball
The Whit men take a brake from their recent travels to take on the older version of themselves in their Annual Alumni Game this Saturday, Dec. 5. These alumni will get another chance to do something they couldn’t do in their Whitman careers, actually win a game. The current Missionaries will attempt to improve on their fast start. They will resume their regular season Dec. 12 when the Banana Slugs of UC-Santa Cruz pay the Sherwood Center a visit.
Women’s Basketball
The Whitman women begin their own tour of California this Friday, Dec. 4, when they play Pomona-Pitzer Colleges in Pomona, Calif. The following day, they will go to La Verne, Calif. to take on the Leopards of the University of La Verne. When they return to Walla Walla, they’ll look forward to a game against in-town rival, Walla Walla University, on Tuesday, Dec. 8. The women will look to come back from a slow 1-3 start.
