Statistically Speaking: Record Breaking Season

The 2011-12 MIT Basketball Team has certainly established itself as arguably one of the most prolific MIT squads of all time.  The team's most important accomplishments are undoubtedly the first ever MIT sweep of the NEWMAC regular and post season championships and first ever trip to the NCAA Division III Final Four.  However, this year's team has broken many other marks, both collectively and individually.  We break them down below:

MIT Assistant Coach Bill Johnson Travels to Malaysia with Australian Team

2nd-year Assistant Coach Bill Johnson '10 is currently participating in the Sultan Azlan Shah International Basketball Tournament in Malaysia with a semi-professional team from Australia, the Gold Coast Authentic All-Stars. The 6'8" swingman is starting for the club, and scored 12 points in 16 minutes in their opening round win over the Singapore National "B" Team.
