The school has a very good basketball tradition under Head Basketball Coach Phil Martelli, who's 20 year tenure has produced a top conference contender and national presence. Presently. they are an eight seed in the 2016 NCAA Basketball Tournament, have a 27-7 record and will be taking on the Cincinnati Bearcats.
