The end of the college basketball season is the last opportunity for teams to play together before players go their separate ways. For Antelope Valley, however, that is going to be very literal this year.
University of the Antelope Valley in Lancaster, Calif., was forced to close their campus on Friday due to financial issues. Still, the men’s basketball team will participate in the NAIA tournament after coach Jordan Mast helped raise $40,000 to allow both the men’s and women’s basketball teams to finish their seasons.
“Unlike most teams this year who might be happy or upset with their seeding or matchup, we are feeling beyond blessed that we even get to compete,” Mast told ESPN’s Myron Medcalf.
