The UM Men’s Basketball team hosted their last home game of the 2020-2021 season on February 23.

With it being their last home game, they took the time to recognize the seniors on the team.

The two seniors, Ivan Smith and Bay Ethridge were recognized before they game, getting to walk out on the court one last time.

Ivan Smith is a 6’1 guard from Casselberry, FL. Bay Ethridge is a 5’10 guard from Locust Fork, AL.

Their coaches say that senior night is alwasy a special night for the players.

“Well it’s always tough when you got guys that are seniors and going to be going on in their career and life. You know you enjoy coaching them and enjoy being around them so it’s kind of bittersweet at times when you, you know they get to go on and move on with that part of their life that’s the next step.” Head Coach Danny Young said.

The Falcons finished their regular season last week with a clinched spot in the GSC Championship.

The Falcons play in the first round of the GSC playoffs as they take on UAH on the road.
