Another winter week was filled with scheduling fun around busy class schedules and fans packed in Memorial Gymnasium.

A snowy start

Students celebrated classes being canceled on Tuesday by having snowball fights outside their dorm rooms and making snow angels on the ground.

Sports

Despite the men’s basketball team losing to Auburn on Wednesday and a devastating loss of their own to Missouri last Sunday, the women’s basketball team pulled through against Auburn on Thursday.
