Practice, Balance—Winning Duo for Devils This year’s basketball season was both pleasant and disappointing. Fif- teen wins and a sweep of Northwood of Michigan leaves good memories. The Devils played sound defense and overcame their lack of height with scrape and hustle. The season was a disappointment in that the Devil’s didn’t get the big win and lost over- time tilts to both Georgetown and Kentucky State, the latter by three overtimes. There were other close loss- es too. But it was a good year and the Devils should be strong again next year with seven returning lettermen.
