Final coat of varnish is down, and it’s beautiful. We may be biased, but we think it’s the coolest court in the country! Even better than before, with new lettering, new Petrel head, NCAA logos, more vibrant gold/yellow, & updated lines. Let’s Get Stormy!

Jim Owen, who has been at Oglethorpe for almost 40 years, said this was “the best game he’s seen played in Dorough Fieldhouse.” We won 114-107 in TRIPLE overtime after trailing by 10 points with 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the second OT. Great comeback & amazing resiliency!

Big-time, gritty win. Great crowd. Neither team ever led by more than six. Back and forth affair. Came from behind and hit buzzer beating game-tying layup to send it to OT. Came from behind again in OT and hit go ahead FT with 21 seconds left and then got a stop. 1-0. Go Petrels!

Still a long way to go, but we like where we are so far. We defeated Centre, 76-69, to remain undefeated in conference play at 5-0, and remain in sole possession of 1st. Have to stay focused as we hit the road next weekend. Go Petrels!

The outcome of a single play or individual game does not define us. Whether we had scored on that final play or whether we had won today has zero impact on what this team was. This was a great team, a great season, and a great group. We are going to miss our seniors. Go Petrels!

Excited that the NCAA has again chosen Atlanta as the city to host the combined Div. I, II, & III men's national championship bball games. The only other time all 3 were in the same city was 2013, also in Atlanta. Looking forward to ATL being the epicenter of men's hoops in 2020.

2020 brought a lot of challenges to everyone, & put things in perspective. It also taught us patience & to not take things for granted. Ultimately, basketball is just a game, but also something that brings us joy. Thankful to be back on the court for our first game tomorrow at 6!

When a season or a career ends, you want to make sure you leave it all on the floor. These guys did that today. Played their butts off. Back-and-forth game that came down to the final play. Came up just short vs a team that hasn’t lost at home all year (1/2)

Petrel news: Former player Andrew Tulowitzky & former women's player Riley were married last night. Beautiful ceremony. Great couple. Epic 1st dance (on a bad achilles). 17 former players there. Awesome how sports can create lifelong bonds. Future kids will be shooters, no doubt!
