Every year, more than 20 teams, comprised of about 175 players, take the courts looking to take home the intramural championship.
Nick Marsden, a junior biology major, is one of the star players and is known for his air time.
“It’s exciting to go out and compete with your classmates,” said the leaping Marsden.
While most teams are playing for the championship, there are some that play just to have fun.
Tyler Bivens, a junior communication major, plays on one of these teams. Bivens, an outside shooter for the High Rollers, plays for the camaraderie.
“It’s a lot of fun getting out on the court playing with my friends,” Bivens said. “And it’s a good distraction from the rigorous studies of college life.”
Regardless of competition level, players agree that the game is the thing that ties them together.
“Just being out on the court and playing is really the best part,” Marsden said.
“Basketball is such a fun sport, and it doesn’t really matter how good you are,” said Bivens.
