GEARYMATCHESRECORDFORSTEALSSean Geary tallied 45 steals on the season, the most by a Tech player since Omari Ruffin had 45 in 2000-01. The point guard, who also led the team in assists with 61, tied the single-game steal record with six in a 48-46 win over Northern Michigan on Feb. 20.

TECHNEARLYDEFEATSMICHIGANSTATEMichigan Tech trailed Michigan State by just two points under three minutes to play in their Nov. 8 contest at MSU’s Breslin Center in Lansing, Mich. The then-No. 8 ranked Spartans needed a 3-pointer from center Goran Suton and four free throws in the final minute to pull out a 61-55 victory. Tech held two different leads in the first half and was as close as one point in the second stanza. Tim Strom led all scorers in the game with 17 points

SPRINGBORNANDSTROMTIEFORSCORINGHONORSRobby Springborn and Tim Strom both posted averages of 12.8 points per game in 2007-08, tying for the team lead in scoring. Springborn tallied 345 points in 27 games, while Strom had 332 in 26 games. Both players ranked in the top five of the GLIAC in free throw percentage (Springborn third at 83.8, Strom fifth at 81.2).

  The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference was founded in June of 1972 with charter members Grand Valley State University, Lake Superior State University, Northwood University, and Saginaw Valley State University. Michigan Technological University joined the league in 1980. The other seven members of the 12-team league are Ashland, Ferris State, Findlay, Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Tiffin and Wayne State. Overall, the GLIAC conducts championships in 20 sports, 10 for men and 10 for women. Men’s championship sports are baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track, and outdoor track. Women’s championship sports include basketball, cross coun-try, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track, outdoor track, and volleyball. All 12 member institutions participate in men’s basketball, and the GLIAC has crowned 58 conference champions since 1972-73, including 31 different divisional title winners since 1996. Ferris State and Grand Valley State lead with the most conference titles with 11 and 10 respectively. Eight teams qualify for the GLIAC Championship Tournament, with the top three teams from each division earning the trip, as well as the next two teams with the highest winning percentage. The winner of the tournament receives an automatic bid into the NCAA II Championships.

Season

The Michigan Tech Pep Band has drawn raves from writers and com-mendations from coaches. It has energized crowds, befuddled opponents, and is undoubtedly unequalled by any other ensemble of its kind in Division II basketball. The Huskies Pep Band has become the “Sixth Man” on the court at Michi-gan Tech home games. Members of the Huskies Pep Band are all students with other educational interests at Michigan Tech, as the University does not offer a music major. The brightly striped bib overall uniforms have become a trademark at Michi-gan Tech and reflect the school’s heritage as a mining institution. Because of the demand of the students’ schedules and the many appearances the group makes during the year (all football, basketball, and hockey events), there are actually two bands, named Silver and Gold, and each is made up of approxi-mately 90 members. The Huskies Pep Band is led by director Nick Enz.

Season Single Game

The Michigan Tech Pep Band has drawn raves from writers and com-mendations from coaches. It has energized crowds, befuddled opponents, and is undoubtedly unequalled by any other ensemble of its kind in Division II basketball. The Huskies Pep Band has become the “Sixth Man” on the court at Michi-gan Tech home games. Members of the Huskies Pep Band are all students with other educational interests at Michigan Tech, as the University does not offer a music major. The brightly striped bib overall uniforms have become a trademark at Michi-gan Tech and reflect the school’s heritage as a mining institution. Because of the demand of the students’ schedules and the many appearances the group makes during the year (all football, basketball, and hockey events), there are actually two bands, named Silver and Gold, and each is made up of approxi-mately 90 members. The Huskies Pep Band is led by director Nick Enz.
