The University of Guam Men’s Basketball team will open their second season in the FIBA-sanctioned Guam Basketball Association as they face the Phoenix Sons on Sunday, Sept. 25 at the UOG Calvo Field House.

The UOG Men’s Basketball team looks to improve their season one record of two wins and 10 losses under the guidance of a new coaching staff.

Head coach Brent Tipton, and assistant coaches Josh Torres and Steve Yates were hired last spring.

Along with a new coaching staff comes a new roster of 15 players who were selected after a rigorous three-day tryout held on August.

Five players will return from the prior season. Ten new players will be playing for their first season.

UOG Men’s Basketball team will compete in 10 regular season games scheduled throughout September and October.

The official regular season schedule is posted on the events section of the UOG official website. For more information contact UOG Athletic Director Doug Palmer at palmerd@triton.uog.edu.
