Recapping Brandeis' NCAA Tournament Run
The Brandeis men's basketball team's dream season came to an end on Saturday, as the squad fell on the road to Williams College, 71-57. Despite the 14-point loss, Brandeis was within 1 point with 3:47 left to go before Williams pulled away. The Elite Eight appearance for Brandeis was the fourth in school history, and just the second time since the D3 NCAA Tournament field expanded to 61 teams (2008 was the other). The Class of 2010 consisting of Terrell Hollins, Kenny Small, Andre Roberson and Rich Magee is the winningest class in team history, finishing at 83 wins for their careers.
